I enabled the checkbox, then clicked on "Apply" and I cannot see window geometry when moving or resizing. If I go in the settings again, the checkbox is disabled. I tried it with desktop effects disabled and it works as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Disable desktop effects if active. Enable the checkbox in "System Settings -> Window Behaviour -> Window Behaviour -> Moving -> Display window geometry when moving or resizing". Click "Apply". Actual Results: window geometry is not displayed Expected Results: window geometry should be displayed 1220652 1 thomas.luebking 2012-01-30 10:21:24 +0000 The effect works regardless when loaded, for the rest i guess that handling the setting was accidentally removed with the two above options - so it's a simple bug in the kcm, sorry. running these two commands will enable the setting: kwriteconfig -file kwinrc -group Windows -key GeometryTip true qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin reconfigure 1220903 2 giorgio.gilitos 2012-01-30 20:19:56 +0000 Thanks a lot, Thomas. I enabled it running the commands you suggested and now it works. I leave the bug open until kcm will be fixed.
