Description Roland Seuhs 2004-02-03 11:22:30 UTC

Version:           3.2.0 (using KDE 3.2.0 RC1, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

When you have windows that are partly off-screen, the KDE 3.2 session manager breaks layout by forcing all windows to be fully on-screen (windows overlapping to the right are aligned to the right screen-edge, windows overlapping to the top are aligned to the top screen-edge, if a window is taller than the screen it's also aligned to the top screen-edge), so if you arranged your windows on a virtual desktop the whole layout is messed up after re-login.

CVS commit by lunakl: 

Don't force windows to be inside workarea if their geometry comes
from session restoration or if the window is already mapped.
