I just might want to add that the confirmation box only makes sense when it removes this \
useless move-the-kicker feature forever.
Just to have a confirmation box that doesn't change the current behaviour is quite useless.
This is no productivity-feature (it is actually working against it), it's a \
configuration-feature. Config-stuff belongs into kcontrol and maybe in the context-menu, but \
the user-interface should not be bloated with configuration stuff in day-to-day use, IMO. If \
you right-click on kicker and choose "configure panel" the very first option is the position of \
the panel, so I really, really don't think that anybody has to be afraid of users not finding \
that option in the very rare case they want to change their panel position.
Just because something is in Windows doesn't make it right.
