Test program

Creating a window with SDL2 results in a task bar in KDE which is set to auto hide to become visible after about 2 seconds.  Task bar will be visible until the user moves their mouse into the panel to acknowledge.  This seems to only be caused by SDL programs.

Attached is basically the SDL_CreateWindow example which triggers this behavior.

This doesn't reproduce here with Kubuntu Desktop 18.04. Tested with SDL 2.0.5 and the latest in revision control. I assume this was a KDE bug that got fixed at some point.

If this is still causing you problems on a newer KDE, please reopen this bug!
