Screenshot showing the problem

DESCRIPTION
In the "Manage Panels and Desktops" dialog (actual dialog title, which is not the same as the component name), in Plasma 6.7 beta 2, there's a new top bar with a helpful message, but this new bar doesn't move the actual management UI down - it covers the top of the management UI and prevents (to some degree) access to the buttons.

See screenshot

More of the problem

I just noticed that the issue is actually worse than I initially thought - if you were wondering why the desktop button for the middle (actually right most - see bug #477122) screen is positioned lower than the other desktops' button - its because that desktop has a top panel (see this screenshot) whose configuration is not completely inaccessible.

Can confirm. It didn't used to do this; looks like a regression.

AbstractApplicationWindow: Fix applications that use an header item

Most kirigami applications use the headers of the PageRow,
not the ApplicationWindow internal header. those that do,
had layout problems due to an invalid old layout condition
that oddly depended from wideMode, which is clearly wrong.
now put the same condition as the margins for the footer
