Hmmm.. weird. The patch shouldn't be necessary. Withdrawn windows are taken 
out of all lists (if kwin works how it should) and thus they cannot be in 
there.

Somehow this doesn't work. To me it looks like wmapplets to a MapRequest and 
then hide again immediately afterwards. I'll investigate a bit later today. I 
believe when #1 is fixed, #2 will also go away.
