Hi

1) The panel tooltips only work when the panel has focus. Currently the only 
way to focus the panel is to click on it. I think we need special focus 
handling for apps like kicker (perhaps for all always_stay_on_top windows). 
Is it possible and does it make sence to have something like on-mouseover 
focus for special apps like kicker?

2) I have implemented keyboard navigation for kicker. The problems start as 
soon as one moves applets around as the focus ring is wrong when a container 
(button, applet, whatever) is moved. I'm thinking about a good way to reorder 
the focus ring depending on the position on the panel. On a horizontal panel 
the tab order of a widget that accepts focus should depend on it's horizontal 
position on the panel. Suggestions?

Greetings,
Matthias

P.S.: Speaking of always_stay_on_top windows, is somebody working on 
implementing support for NET::StaysOnTop in kwin? I heard the NET_WM spec is 
not very clear about always_stay_on_top windows but the fact that a state for 
such windows is defined in the NET namespace makes me assume that this is 
wrong?!
