Description Helge Hielscher 2005-12-16 03:02:53 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Please provide the option that selected windows may be moved over the panel. That means do not allow all other windows to cover the panel, but only windows that have "Keep Above Others" enabled.

this would be a window manager thing, not a panels thing.
