Actually, with megagradient KCalc's buttons work correctly, but the labels at 
the bottom don't update properly ;-) I've known about this for awhile but 
haven't fixed it yet because I was working on Liquid (which does handle it 
correctly). Same with some fields in KOrganizer. These have problems with 
X11ParentRelative when used with SetBackgroundPixmap. Liquid is much more 
developed than MegaGradient right now, I really do need to fix it up.
