Thanks for the hints and ideas Marco. :)

As you already mentioned in the other thread, the problem is really 
weird indeed.


I'll try to summarize what I tested so far:

My first thought was that events get not forwarded properly to the 
popup, so I placed debug output in the event handler methods in 
dialog.cpp and popupapplet.cpp.
With this debug output I could not find any difference between the 
non-working networkmanagement applet and the working battery applet.

The next try was to see whether the bounding box etc. are properly set. 
Again, everything seems fine here as well; no apparent difference 
between the two applets.

Another try I did some days ago was to simply put a big MouseArea in the 
top item of the NMPopup.qml code to see if, generally, mouse events 
reach the widget. Here, I couldn't get any events at all. I even set the 
z property to something insanely high like 1001.


So, to summarize, it seems like the events get lost somewhere in the 
stack. In dialog.cpp and popupapplet.cpp it looked like that they are 
there (I was looking for mousePressEvent). But then they seem to get 
lost somewhere after that.
