Couldn't the same be done i.e. have kpanel gain the focus when ALT-F1 (
whatever the key binding for the K->menu ) is pressed ?  In fact,  wouldn't
doing this properly solve this problem since the panel would have the correct
z-order ( focus order ) ?

No. It currently works somewhat okay if no application is active.  Well,
pressing ESC the first time cancels the mini-command box when it should 
actually close the K->menu. Then the second ESC closes the mini-command
box. However, this should work in reverse if proper Z-ordering is followed,
correct ?  It is somewhat analogous LIFO scenarios.
