Version: (using KDE 4.0.98) OS: Linux In the last branch tagged kde-4.1 of the kde svn windows started to appear fullscreen as default when using compiz. It is possible to make each window normal by clicking on the checked "fullscreen" checkbox in the advanced part of the windowmenu (accessed from the plasma taskbar). In all the earlier snapshots things worked as they should.
Checked with the packagers. Kde 4.0.99 works, but not the svn checkout from the kde-4.1.0 tag
Now it worked :S
I am using trunk version, and quite a few weeks now, i notice the same problem. Is it kde code, or something in my part?
Created attachment 31173 [details] screenshot I know the issue is pretty self-explanatory, but screenshots never hurt and this one is reduced to 50% size.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention, I'm still suffering from this problem using Compiz 0.78 and KDE 4.2.00 in Ubuntu Intrepid 64-bit. It happens for every KDE application when it first fires up, and seeing as the option is always enabled in the KWin-style window management window (which shouldn't matter anymore).
Same problem seen under Fedora 10 with kdebase-4.1.4-2.fc10.i386, compiz-0.7.8-4.fc10.i386, compiz-fusion-0.7.8-2.fc10.i386. When I went into the Compiz Fusion Icon's menu, selected Settings Manager, then category "Utility", then "Workarounds" (which was already checked) and un-checked "Legacy Fullscreen Support" this seemed to fix the problem - immediately those applications which were starting full-screen started maximised instead. The tooltip for this checkbox says "Make Wine and legacy applications fullscreen properly." but otherwise I don't yet know if disabling the workaround has caused any problems. I did notice that the applications which start maximised will, when restored, still take up the full screen. The issue seems to affect the KDE applications I've used (Konsole, Dolphin, "System Settings") but not Firefox - I'm not sure if this is because the latter is a GTK application.
