fix: X11 screen flicker and window resizing with panel

- dont use org.kde.KWin.reconfigure on X11 to avoid flicker, also doesn't seem to need it
- add a workaround to crash on panel location change by temporarily showing the panel, also seems to fix the activation zone being stuck at the previous screen edge
