I am writing scripts on top of KDE to make touchscreens more usable. One thing I need to look for is to see if the plasma keyboard is currently raised / on screen. I see that applets/plasmoids are not treated as normal windows making things more difficult. Here are the things I have tried:

xdotool -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
wmctl -a :ACTIVE: -v
xdotool getactivewindow getwindowname
All not working

xprop | grep TYPE | grep OVERRIDE
This was closest but xprop in the standard mode with no arguments interferes with the KDE mouse gestures system which I am also using.

Is there some other way to check for applets on screen?
