Damn it! _This_ is what I've forgotten to note in my TODO. I had observed that 
the things went wrong with Lubos' patch, especially because we (me and 
Matthias) already had discussed in Nurnberg about the exact same thing ("why 
active_client != popup_client").

I believe the right way to fix this is to revert the popup_client patch, fix 
the apps/situations where popup_client mechanism doesn't satisfy, and 
_finally_ write an explanatory note about this design choice.

Hey! What about the following? Put a moratory on kwin code until after KDE-3.1 
(with extensions as needed) and thus getting some time to write down a DESIGN 
paper note. I know about a (very few) of KWin's internals. Matthias knows 
more. Let's put all this knowledge in written. And finally have a solid base 
for discussion before major architectural changes.

(This will even eventually drive us towards a Kwin v.3, with a goal in code 
file modularity and clean-up).

Hope to hear from all involved.
