Annoying KDE feature

[Michael Butash]

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.
