Apparently, panel widgets are packed tightly, at least I can't position them arbitrarily. Then, the stretchable widgets, such as the system tray and the digital clock take up all the place there is. > >- Where do the panels get their colors from? > > IIRC, your desktop theme.

In the Keyboard & Mouse System Settings, Global Keyboard Shortcuts for KWin, there the action Maximize Window. When I press Win-Shift-+ for a custom setting, it makes Meta-* out of it. That's just fine, but it has no effect.
