  This does get confusing though.  I don't think that the docked app
should be the same as actually running kmix, and I think this behavior
should extend to most apps that 'dock'.

  For example, I like having access to a mixer from the panel.  I also
have a habit of closing the window when I'm done with it.  This is
annoying, since it's then gone from the dock!  In the end, I just gave up,
and started using aumix.  Ugh.

  The point is: if something is docked in the panel, it should be there to
stay for a long period of time.  It shouldn't disappear if I accidentally
close the app.  The feature of having the panel never consistently hold
any applications has kept me from using it. 

  Oh, and a kmix peeve- On Solaris, it's pretty common to just have one
slider for kmix: audio volume.  kmix has the annoying feature of not being
resizable, which means I can't get to the menu at all.  It was pretty
useless.

  Fixed-size apps are usually a real pain.  kmix is no exception.
