technically, it's not a trick :)

sounds like a bug in your code, or something we haven't made obvious enough in 
the API. 

you can either override the mousePressEvent in your applet itself or, if the 
label in your plasmoid is a separate widget then simply call showPopup when 
it's clicked.

when resizing what, the applet?  it keeps the resize cursor even after you 
stop resizing? because resizing the applet continues until you let go of the 
mouse button, even if the cursor passes over another window.

which scroll bars?
