Yes, I know. The KApplet class will make this swallowing a little bit easier
and less error-prune, though. It will also use the new QXEmbed-Extension I
wrote for the OpenParts.

This makes it possible to integrate the applets into the focus management of
the panel, so finally a URL typefile etc. will become possible  without weird
keyboard grab hacks :-)

Someones writing a client class to encapsulate docking, but that's unrelated.
