Version: 3.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux Perhaps this is possible and I just can't find it: can I have windows span pager'ed desktops? I typically have several very wide (400+ characters) terminal windows open with tail -f's of Apache logs, syslogs, etc. With a 1600x1200 display and 7x13 font size, that means the windows are about two full screen-widths wide. With fvwm for instance this is no problem, because the desktops are all one virtual contiguous space, and windows can easily span multiple desktops; you page to the one you want. In kwin it seems that the desktops are all discrete, and can't share; if you slide a window partway off the right side of a desktop, that part isn't visible in any other desktop. I really miss this feature in kwin; am I just not finding it? Fvwm also allows fine-grained sliding of your viewer window; you can shift in any direction by just a hundred pixels or so at a time--this would be nice too but not as important. I've seen people ask similar questions in the past on mailing lists, etc; the responses given were about Desktop->Window Behavior->Advanced->Active Desktop Borders (which doesn't do what I'm talking about AFAICS), or setting up a larger Virtual screen in the X server config, which is just an awful approach.
Sorry, KWin will not support viewports, as, except for this detail, they're from the user's point of view exactly the same, but completely different from the developer's of view. If you want, you can use a different window manager with KDE that supports viewports (http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/kdewm/).

ctrl+f8 to activate desktopgrid kwin effect, now drag a window to the next desktop with 1/2 the window on one desktop (visible) and the other half on the next desktop (not visible) - see screenshot. still happening with trunk compiled about 3hrs ago http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/8340/snapshot1ux9.jpg (see the top right desktop where systemsettings window is being dragged to the desktop below - where only the top portion of the systemsettings window is visible the other part of the window in the desktop below is not visible.)
The bug #179092 is for kde4 this one #147461 is for kde3, so I am not sure about assigning the former bug to this one with -WONTFIX-assigned?
