In the future it will hopefully be possible to use the system tray area 
with the keyboard as well, so tying this to "LMB", "MMB" and "RMB" is a 
no-no. I agree with Aaron that in KDE 4, the GUI must be managed by the 
system tray itself.

Polemical reply: The suggested kicker changes are needed to make KNotes 
(and other system tray applications) less broken to impaired users.

Polite reply: The fact that kicker is currently broken accessibility-wise 
is not your fault, but please allow the kicker maintainer to fix these 
issues.
