My question had nothing to do with the placement of Kickoff on the panel, but 
with the Kickoff menu itself. Go to the Applications tab and click any item 
with sub-items. Then you see to the left the 'blue-back-bar-button'. Drop your 
mouse to the left edge and you can't press the 'back-button'. In the stable 
version of KDE - 4.3.1 - there was no space between the left edge and the 
Kickoff menu. My 'problem' has to do with the latest kde testing - 4.1.96 -
version.

After some clicking - left and right button - on the panel I found the 
solution. In the latest kde version right clicking on the taskbar - the part 
where opened applications are - the task manager gives you a lot more options 
then in the previous version. Here you can choose - besides 'alphabetic' - 
Don't sort, Manual and Desktop.
