yes, other window managers allow dock windows to get focus.

what would be good is to have both a keyboard shortcut for the user to access 
(which would go into kwin) and a way for widgets to request this same focus on 
click; the tasks widget (and in fact _most_ widgets) do not want such 
behaviour, but some do.

so this is really two problems in one:

* keyboard shortcut to get focus to a dock window (aka panel)

* way for a widget to advertise that it should receive keyboard focus when 
clicked and have PanelView grab focus in that case

just like alt-tab for windows, ctrl+tab (or whatever) would work for multiple 
panels.
