Kicker viewport fix

Hello,

The current version of the kicker minipager applet has
problems with vertical 
viewports and with the combination of multiple viewports and
desktops. This 
patch fixes the complete minipager viewport handling.

Regards
Dennis

as long as it still works with desktops only and viewports
only i'm fine with 
the patch. feel free to commit.

and yeah, i do wish x11 people could manage to decide their
way out of a wet 
paper bag and settle on one way to do things like this so we
don't end up 
with these annoying feature matrixes.

 Well it is simple, pretty much everybody uses virtual
desktops, except for 
Compiz. And it was stupid of me to think we should support
viewports as 
well :(. There are still things that don't work with
viewports (taskbar 
showing only current desktop,...). I don't think we can
ignore Compiz 
completely, so we can't go with the obvious simple solution,
but I suggest 
considering viewports as some kind of legacy system - when
there are no 
virtual desktops and there is a viewport, the code in
kdeui/windowmanagement 
will silently pretend the viewport is virtual desktops, and
that's it.

 Does anybody have a problem with me doing that for KDE4?
