Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs When I go on vacation, I leave my computer running in my office. When I come back several days later, everything seems to be working exactly as I left it, except that it is impossible to resize windows! Moving the mouse cursor over a window border, the cursor icon changes to the resize icon, but dragging the mouse has no effect. Moving windows via dragging the title bar still works, as does using the maximize/unmaximize button. Rebooting the system fixes the problem. This bug seems to be reproducible. I don't know the minimum idle time necessary to trigger it, however. My first vacation was for fourteen days and the second one for ten, and the bug occurred after coming back from both vacations.
I have the same problem. Running SuSE V9 KDE V3.2.1-68.23 I have the Linux PC on a KVM switch and running all the time. Screensaver is active. After several days(exact number undetermined) of non-use, I switch to that PC and windows will neither resize nor move. The mouse pointer changes correctly to the double-headed arrow for a resize or the four-headed arrow for a move, but the window dimensions do not change.
I have a dual-head setup, so with two graphic cards but one X server (:0.0 and :0.1). The same happens to me, but the weird part is the problem only occurs on the second display (:0.1). The first one works fine. This is on KDE 3.2.1, compiled from source.
I can confirm that this bug still exists on KDE 3.3.2 Level "a" (SuSE RPMs).
This bug also exists on the kdebase-3.3.2-1.5.2.kde kde-redhat.org RPMs. When the problem occurs, windows cannot be moved or resized even though the move/resize mouse cursor appears. I have successfully recovered from the problem by entering these commands from a command prompt: $ killall kwin $ kwrapper kwin & My Linux distro is Fedora Core 2 plus the kde-redhat.org KDE RPMs.
Should be already fixed in CVS.
