You can have a window that will not have an entry in the taskbar. kicker is 
actually a dock-window. I'm not sure if all dockwindows should be treated as 
system-tray windows. But I added a patch so that wrong taskbar-item positions 
like 0,0 will lead to the same behavior as system-tray windows.

No, the 0,0 comes from the fact that there simply is no taskbar entry for 
kicker.

KPassivePopup::message( i18n("Calculator"), resultString, this );
should do it now.
