BTW, months ago I _had_ the KDockWindow way done completely and was 
running KMail accordingly on my desktop but quickly was convinced that 
it was not usable at all - so I removed it again in kroupware branch.

So please do the following: try this with your local copy of the source,
give it a real try for a few days and then remove it again - laughing 
together with me when seeing how strange KMail will become by using
the KDockWindow trick.  :-)
