Description Wolfram R. Sieber 2004-05-05 00:57:11 UTC 
Version:           2.1 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:     (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-xfs

I set up my X to show about a quarter more width than physically visible on my screen. KDE/Kate dialogs like "open" or "save as" normally pop up with a width about max width minus a bit. On a X desktop like mine (1000 x 600 instead of physically 800 x 600) this results in the necessity to move my mouse left and right to see all parts of the dialog.

I think, it would be much better if KDE/Kate would take the physically max screen width as basis instead of the virtual max x size.

kate does not set the size. reassigning.

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.

Seems fixed with KDE Frameworks 5.
