well, it's more like "it's totally cool for popups to have focus" ... we'll need some work-around for this for Plasmaboard. either that or else Plasmaboard will have to provide and manage it's own popup instead of relying on PopupApplet for this .... > Second issue: > My virtual keyboard can be dragged on the desktop of course.

And if not, can you implement one? urf... this will probably require a nasty-ish hack like whenever the graphicswidget gets focus checking for view() and then if view() un-focusing it and hope that it un-focuses before the event hist the queue. -- Aaron J.
