Description Per Peterson 2004-08-05 22:37:22 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

There needs to be some way in the Desktop->Panels kcm control module to configure the way in which panel overlaps are done.  For instance, if I have my main panel on top and a ksim taking up part of the right side, even if I set the main panel to be 100% width it only takes up part of the screen in some futile attempt not to overlap with the ksim.  I don't like this behavior.  There needs to be some way to set the priority with which panels take up screen real-estate.

I've always had the exact same problem. I have 3 panels; one at the top with a K-menu, app-menu, pager, tray and clock (100% width, centered), one at the bottom with shortcuts (1% width, expand as needed, centered), and a ksim in the bottom right, vertically aligned. None of these three intersect, ever, but the first two panels move over for the ksim. It makes my desktop look pretty funny! I'm using KDE 3.3.1, and this has bothered me since KDE 2.x.

This is my first time seeing a bug marked as fixed. Does this mean the problem should be gone in a soon-to-come version of KDE?
