 Well, since nobody else commented, and I'm now finally back, I'll try to say 
something.

 Add to panel - sorry, but this is yet another "it's cool, let's add it" 
feature, and I really don't think we need to clutter kwin's popup menu with 
such useless features. What's the problem with the normal already existing 
add to panel feature?

 Either the application is somewhere in the K-Menu and then it's already easy 
to add it, or it's not there, and then there are two possibilities: Either 
the user is sufficiently smart to run the application in some other way, 
making them smart enough also to find out how to add the application to the 
panel, or they're not smart enough to even launch the application, and in 
this case, the feature is useless.

 Terminate program - this one makes sense, but I don't think it's that often 
used feature. Ctrl+Alt+Esc or Ctrl+Esc are IMO enough. How often would Joe 
User use this popup menu entry?
