Public bug reported:
KWin, at least under kde 4, cannot control the floating skim panel
because it is an unusual window type.
The skim floating panel appears on the far left in the middle of the
screen. I find this an annoying place for it to be, so every login I
drag it to the bottom of the screen. I wanted kde to do this for me
automatically by using the Window-Specific settings feature, but there
is no way to apply window specific settings to the skim panel. Usually
with an app, you can press alt-f3 or right click on the title bar and
you get a popup menu. You can then choose Advanced>Special Window
Settings and get a nice dialog allowing you to manipulate a program's
behaivor. However, skim panel has no titlebar and if you press alf-f3
on it, the popup appears for window behind it.
I then tried opening Special Window Settings for a different window,
then going to the first tab of the dialog and clicking "Detect Window
Properties". However, when doing this with skim, it fails.
So, in conclusion, there is no apparent way to control skim panel.
