Hello Stefan,

I'm sorry, but unfortunately you got an intermediate version. 
The first commited version was better, and the current is about perfect (Except one \
thing: "Keys might not get saved/restored in all occasions")

And I'm glad that you only report PanelApplet stuff. This was still pending.

Initial update was missing - fixed now

I don't believe this -it  cannot be. When does this happen? After you drag the panel, \
re-login or after removing and re-inserting the Applet?

Not a real bug: It takes as much space as it gets: I might change that if possible.

Fixed: minimum

First: fixed

Second: "inverse" has been removed now, due to VERY unclear semantics

Because there was NO WAY to fix bugs anymore. If one fixes one bug, you would create \
one or two new.

It worked? You should have taken a look at bugs.kde.org. This PanelApplet was a neat \
                bug-house, nothing more.
- It crashed all the time
- It would not show
- It loses all its settings as soon as you drag it
- It forget to save config
- and so on and so on.

Sorry again, the version now is clean.

Chris
