Screenshot of over-the-edge-widget being show on bottom panel

Description of problem:
If you take a widget and move it over the top edge of your screen, it will be shown on top of your bottom panel (but not the rest of the screen bottom).

As soon as you defocus the widget, it will move itself back over the edge to be completely visible on the screen top. So this sort of fixes itself but still deserves a proper fix.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Unfortunately I have no idea which exact component this bug is from, so I simply picked kdebase-workspace in hope people could find the right component. I'm generally running KDE 4.7.2 as included in Fedora 16 Final RC2 Live KDE without updates.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move a desktop widget over your screen's top edge
2. See it becoming visible on the bottom panel
  
Actual results:
Widget leaps portal-like over the screen edge, but is only shown on the panel.

Expected results:
Either don't leap over the screen edge or be visible outside the panel as well.

while temporarily not entirely esthetically pleasing for a few moments, yes it fixes itself. 

I'm fairly certain this isn't something we'll be spending much effort downstream to fix (feel free to poke upstream though).
