I had a suspicion that something might still be wrong which is why I still have those patches, waiting to push them in case they turn out to be useful :)

Ok.
Btw, it seems Andreas Hartmetz already did commit this as well together with some other changes:
https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=plasma-workspace.git&a=commitdiff&h=b5e814a7b2867914327c889794b1088027aaafd6&hp=724bd005b9b3ae0300fdae40483effcd02c192b3

So I'll just mark this as submitted.
