[compiz] compiz plugins and window types

Hi All,

First off, I've just started using compiz and its fantastic...

I'm using compiz with KDE (on FC6), all is OK apart from one small niggle 
which is when I use the scale or switcher plugins it includes my kicker 
windows (the desktop panels) in the list, which isn't so pretty.

I don't know much about gconf, but poking around in the settings for compiz 
and found that these plugins do have a list of window types they include. 
Experimenting with removing the types I found that the kicker is a "Normal" 
window. Unfortunately so is everything else...

Maybe I'm on the wrong track (?) but I think I just need to configure 
something to redefine the type of window the  KDE "kicker" is ? I cannot 
though figure out how this is done - Could someone point me the right way, or 
if I am completely wrong tell me what I should be trying to do.

cheers Chris
