Thanks for the hint :-). I'll upload the patch again.
Regarding the "shown fully on the desktop", well, with "shown fully on the desktop" I meant being complete and visible (to the user) as a popup after the K button is called, so I actually meant the popup :-). Anyway, that is the point when the animation should start, i.e. kickoff has been opened as a popup and the tabbar is fully visible to the user. Immediately after that the animation should begin and not last more than 150-200 ms to avoid annoying the user. How do I get notified about the popup being visible to the user. I am looking for something like a normal (not internal) showEvent. Any ideas how to do that?

The Icons in kickoff's tabbar are all placed at the center of the tabbar before moving towards their intended location when the menu is displayed. It's a hack as of now and doesn't even work when the panel is placed on the right or left screen edge. But that's pretty easy to fix if you guys like that behaviour. I am not sure, maybe the thing is superfluous but hey, I like small useless animations.
