Hi, Ingolf,
It looks really promising. It doesn't work for me (the Alt-clicking on the
graphics cells), I assume because KDE has some
Alt-click-drag-window-to-new-position functionality which is stealing control
from your clever palette. I'll try to test on some other windowing systems,
with and without their functions enabled.
Thanks,
C.O.
