Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs OS: Linux Just like the "Show Desktop" icon on the panel, it would be nice if the window list button acts as a toggle. This way, you could click once to show your window list and then click it again to hide it. I can't think of any reason you would want to click on it twice to show it twice. The only way to get rid of it now is to click on another window. This feature becomes very convenient when you need to check the window title for a change in status (take gaim for instance, or kopete, which might change the title of the application when a new message arrives). Since the window list button already shows a depressed state, it would be trivial to make it a "toggle" type of button.
actually, you'd be surprised how untrivial it was ;-) this is due to the event order that occurs: click on the button, menu is shown, click [ menu loses focus and hides ] on button, menu is shown... had to do some delay trickery to get it working.. but it does.
Sorry to trivialize your role. I do understand that these things are no always simple and I commend you for your progress. Thanks for finding a solution to this problem!
