No, I wish it were that easy. I'm usually typing in a flurry when it
happens, and not even sure what keys accidentally triggered it. On KDE,
the windoze key triggers the menu normally. Not an alt-tab thing either.
It acts like a desktop switcher, but doesn't. Hitting the (-) on the right
does nothing, trying the pencil on the left button let's me rename it, but
then doesn't. I can drag the window, but it snaps back. No right click on
anything. It's just... there, and stays on top of all other windows.
Since I somehow triggered it again a few days ago, it's been annoying the
hell out of me. I just want it to die.
