Sorry Sandy - I missed the "copy" bit. Thought we were talking of changes in 
the kdelibs to do this. Adding this to our sources would work, of course, but 
Falk worked so hard to get the dock stuff into kdelibs it would be a shame 
not to use it. :-)

My objections arn't unyielding  - but I'm sure you guys will come up with a 
much better solution by the time I wake up tommorrow :-)
