Version: unknown (using KDE 3.1.0 (RC5)) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20 I have noticed this only in KDE 3.1. The most that I use are having maximised windows. When this setup is saved the app window get maximised the next time I execute it. What happens in KDE 3.1 is that when this already maximised window is drawn not the whole screen is used. There is some space between either the bottom or the top of the screen and the app window. The window buttons show state as maximised. I have to un- maximise and re- maximise window to use whole screen. How to reproduce(I hope): Open an App(KMail for instance) Maximise App Window Quit App Open App again App Window should be maximised and you should see the effect.
I cannot reproduce the problem. Please provide more detailed information (e.g. where is you panel located, does it happen with a newly created user, etc.).
it seems the problem is related to the window themes when using keramik as widget theme but kde2 as window decoration as i do then the described effect happens. other theme combinations might work too. i could reproduce the problem with a new user by doing the following 1. create new user and start kde 2. use default config 3. change window decorations to kde2 4. do as i described in my intial bug report
the bug is still in kde3.1 final, i have switched back to keramik window decorations, as this is annoying as hell. could you reproduce the bug with the additional description?
Can you please attach a small screenshot of the exact effect, as I cannot reproduce this either. It is possible you are using a small resolution, in which kwin mistakenly misinterprets kmail's size as being vertically maximized.
sorry for responding this late. my email provider must have been down when the last comment occured. the snapshot is one of a maximized mozilla 1.2.1 window: Current Software status: KDE 3.1.1, QT 3.1.2, XFree 4.3.0, Linux 2.4.20, Glibc 2.3.1, Gcc 3.2.2
Created attachment 1280 [details] pic of 'maximised' mozilla window the window was opened by using new navigator window on another mozilla window mozilla saves that windows should be opened maximised. as you can see with the window buttons kwm thinks the window is maximised
I cannot reproduce the problem with KDE-3.1.3 when following the instructions from comment 2 and the initial comment. When you see such window, could you run 'xprop', click on the window, and provide the input?
Waiting for reply, but I expect this to be a duplicate of #40636.
