 Great. Now that you've mastered the art of transforming positions to global 
ones, would you have time to also look at taskbar and its announcing of the 
position of taskbar entries ;) ?

 In KDE3, if you run 'xprop | grep ICON_GEOMETRY' and click on any window, it 
will print geometry of its taskbar entry. This is not supported yet by the 
KDE4 taskbar and therefore e.g. the minimize animation is not right. The 
actual call to provide this information is Task::publishIconGeometry(), it's 
just not called anywhere right now.
