I still miss the overlay. Wanted to know from others which of the
following is better -

option 1: Use a KMenu when the previewer is small, and an Overlay when
the previewer's size is sufficient.
option 2: Always use a KMenu.

IMO, having an overlay gives a visual feeling of being 'Plasma'.

Opinions?
