When I disable Clickonic and xDesk Milkdrop shows up on the background like it should. But without xDesk, or some other workarea module, windows maximize under the taskbar and right clicking on the desktop won't bring up the main popup menu.

By creating a label the size of the workarea that responds to MouseRightClick with !Popup I can fix the popup problem, but setting this label's Alphatransparency to 0 makes it unresponsive to mouse clicks. Setting it to 1 makes it responsive again, but slows down window resizing, moving and the Milkdrop animations because of the extra transparency calculations for a label that big. Here's a couple screenshots:

Clickonic enabled,the bounding area for the icons covers up Milkdrop:

The same thing happens with xDesk enabled, with the black area being the size of the WorkArea.

The code snippits were for a seperate problem with fonts, I've fixed that for now by turning off xPopupAlphaMap and shadows for the outside of the popup.
