Description giorgio.gilitos 2012-01-30 06:01:57 UTC

Version:           4.8.0 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

The option in "System Settings -> Window Behaviour -> Window Behaviour -> Moving -> Display window geometry when moving or resizing" has no effect when desktop effects are disabled.
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

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

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.
Bye
