 Ah, so you do know. The previous description wasn't even close, this one 
describes how it works together with the applet. Without the applet it's even 
close to your "this is where you put your menubar" and there's no xembed 
because there's no embedding done.

 So half of KDE is then a hack too, just because only we do it?
