the best way to make sure that at least I will never implement this feature, 
is to annoy me. Good ways to annoy me, include:
* mentioning that it worked in KDE 3 - seriously nobody cares
* mentioning that it is already the ".n" release of something and STILL not 
fixed - nobody cares. Even if it means that the feature is not needed or the 
users who really need it would have started to hire a company to implement it
* mentioning that Windows supports it. Great then use Windows, I don't care.

I mentioned in comment #47 to this report that I took the time to investigate 
the issue. I had opened both places in Plasma and KWin to add the support, I 
re-read the spec to it. I had completely understood the issue, the code and 
was willing to fix it, which normally at that point means five minutes of more 
work. But there is no fix. Now you can think for yourself whether it's trivial 
or not.

Now this whining in this report has to end or at least I will no longer look 
at it. I don't use a panel between shared edges and as long as I'm not payed 
to fix this issue (if it is fixable at all) whining will not motivate to fix 
something I don't use and which I won't need.
