shouldn't be much of an issue. KWindowSystem is emitting a signal, isn't it? activeWindowChanged()

There's been concerns about waking up when windows were moved and KWindowSystem has no disconnectNotify implementation, so once you hooked onto KWindowSystem signals, you're afair not easily getting rid of it's X11 event filtering.

Description

Drawback: the next trigger will go unfancied (would require listening to active window changes, no idea whether that's acceptable) but that's still much better than occluding 30 outer px of a window (see bug and http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=112163)

Notice that
a) nor auto unhiding neither hinting happens at all while there's a(n active) fullscreen window - this is unchanged (see early exit in patched branch)
b) the patch does nothing if you don't attempt to enter the occluded area of a fullscreen window (so not even the next hinting will be affected)

Testing

m_unhideTrigger shrinks and the next unhide is not indicated (but the panel appears), subsequent indication remains unaffected.
