... but if you have your hands on the keyboard you'll have to get the mouse,

This is interesting, once I had kopete showing its popups in the top-left
corner but I thought it is a bug. Without changing anything the next time I
started KDE the popups were back to their place: next to kopete's system tray
icon. Do you always have the popups at the top of the screen ?
