Yes, we used to have this in KDE 1 and it was a nifty way to avoid using
kicker.

Agreed. How to get to it ? ...

Well most of the K-menu is generated by KSycoca... it's only stuff like
the 'quickbrowser' that's done by Kicker itself. What about the K-menu
being created within kdelibs somewhere ? Then kdesktop, the mac menu,
and kicker can all have one.

I think the window list menu should be created by kwin, but what if you're
not running kwin... Should it be available via class KWin and available
whatever window manager you're using ?

I think I might be talking crap today :)
