this is another version: i made a new function popupPosition() to calc the 
position, because this is also badly needed for all the popups like kickoff 
and device notifier. because at the moment (at least for kickoff) the case of 
a lateral panel is not managed at all, this should use sane positions both in 
the panel and in the desktop
