I changed to open/close due to the fact that close was already used inside the 
code.

I realized we only need one atom for the sticky window. Everything else we can 
do through DBus. I'll add another method:
void openEmbedded(qulonglong wid, QRect geometry);
This could be invoked by the panel and it connects to the tabBoxClosed() 
signal which gets emitted when the user clicks an item. That way we don't have 
to fiddle around with setting the atoms & co.
