i should have wrapped that whole suggestion in <wayland></wayland> tags. it is certainly not possible to do in a nice fashion on X11. we could fake it to some extent, but it would never be perfect. putting that support in kwin would make it a moot point. on x11 these semi- modal UI bits would just overlap things as they do now in your screenshots, but on wayland kwin could have a desktop effect that takes these windows and Adds Awesome(tm). the only reason it makes sense to think about this *now* rather than later is that kwin would then need a way to identify such windows. -- Aaron J.
