Version: (using KDE 4.3.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Kwin remember the view settings of all windows that I configured, but if I look at the settings in the next time that I launch the application, it is no longer configured even if the settings covered previously are kept
Sorry I do not understand what you are talking about. Could you please explain a little bit more? Like what you have configured and where? What you expected to work and what doesn't?
sounds like either a path conflict or insufficient access permissions. @Simone - do you have both directories ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 (DO NOT create one if not) - run "chmod -R +w ~/.kde" (assuming ~/.kde is your present local KDE path)
you're right, I have not provided enough information for the bug reported. This is the problem: After that I configured the size and position of windows in each applications (Dolphin, kate, etc), in the next time that I start every applications it has a size and position that I configured but if I look the windows settings (Special Window Settings->Geometry) they are disable. Sorry for my bad english
Which rule did you select (Force, Remember, ...)?
each selection that I choose (Force,Remember,apply early, .....)
please open a terminal (konsole) and (given ~/.kde is your local dir, check for ~/.kde4 as well) enter: ls ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrul* stat ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrulesrc 1st: before adding a new rule 2nd: right after adding it 3rd: after restarting the ruled app (and the rule is gone)

ok, file exists, you've write permisions and actually write sth. to it (the file size grows and stays like this) so my last guess is that you apply a too strict filter. right click the titlebar, select "configure window behaviour", open the "window specific" page. do your rules show up there? Anyway you could attach kwinrulesrc for inspection in case the above don't lead you to a fix
Yes, the configuration settings are show there
Is this still an issue? Can you please attach the kwinrulesrc after setting a rule and after restarting the application? Possibly dupe of bug #187539
no response in a year, assuming dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 187539 ***
