Skip window list, stay at bottom... How in KDE?!

[NGene]

I've been switching heavily between KDE and Window Maker lately. It's weird how easy it is to configure stuff in Window Maker, whereas KDE is just too hard to figure out...

This is the problem. I have a window. There are three things I want to do with that particular window.

1) When I open a window list in KDE, that particular window shows up in the list. I don't want it to show up there. How do I configure this?

2) Also, when I switch windows with my keyboard, that same window can get the focus and raise. How do I configure KDE so that when I switch windows with keyboard, that particular window doesn't get focus? Or, if it gets the focus, at least doesn't raise?

3) And how do I make sure that particular window NEVER raises to top so that it NEVER covers any other windows? I have a focus follows mouse setting, so I can freely click the window and it still stays at bottom, but I'd like to make sure I never accidentally cover any other windows with that particular window (for example, when switching windows with keyboard, see question 2).

I have a setup like this in WM, but how do I do it in KDE?

Those are some snazzy features. Not sure that KWM does those. Both KWM and Metacity are functional but that's about it.

Are you talking about on different virtual desktops?

Ask a KDE user for that one ;D

Seems like you actually understood what I was talking about... or are you just pretending? :P

Maybe I was using too WM'ish language in my post... let's say it differently: how do I make a window behave like it was just a part of the background picture? You know how a background picture is supposed to behave, right? Or a wallpaper, if you wish to use that stupid term?

Uh, make it your background Not sure really, and not sure really why youd want a window to act like its not a window. Maybe the sticky? Try right clickin on the title bar and select "Configure Window Behavior" (if youre using KDE3 which I assume) . Theres a whole bunch of window actions to configure there, maybe that would help?
