SUMMARY
When closing an unsaved kate document from the overview effect, the popup-window that reminds you to save it is also only shown very tiny in the overview. This can be quite annoying if I am trying to close many instances of kate (e.g. when using it to temporarily note something down). 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. make an edit to a file in Kate 
2. activate the overview effect
3. use middle-mouse or the x to close kate

OBSERVED RESULT
Popup is shown as a tiny window amongst all the others, in order to save/dicard you have to exit the overview

EXPECTED RESULT
Popup is shown above overview effect, so I can choose an option without exiting

I have no idea how to achieve that.

KWin people, is there api to do that?
