           Summary: Add better float window support for Plasma
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Chakra
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: plasma-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: wengxt@gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Currently Plasma::Dialog is great for attach to panel or attach to the screen
with edge hugging.

There is some use case that fully floating window is needed, such as a popup
menu(the style like the usual menu) in lancelot, which user doesn't except to
see edge hugging. Or
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Colibri?content=117147, or kimpanel.

For lancelot, since it's not quite possible there is a menu near something to
hug, it's not a problem.

For Colibri and kimpanel, they all implement their own plasma window from
QWidget, which is not quite desirable.

I believe there are some more other cases that fully floating window is good
for them.

Previously I open a thread in maillist, 
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2011-July/016568.html
Sorry for not have enough time to discuss it at that time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use Plasma::Dialog

Actual Results:  
Edge hugging cannot disabled.

Expected Results:  
There is an optional property or alternative class for this feature.
