 Hmm. And is this a real problem? I don't think this has ever happened to me 
for a single time. If this is a problem, then it probably applies to more 
places than just your application, and somewhat more systematic way should be 
found that just rolling your own hack. Besides, as I said you currently can't 
control the titlebar buttons anyway, and I'm reluctant to add anything like 
that - it would be just abused, and currently KWin supports about 10 titlebar 
buttons and the list may still grow.
