That isn't KDE specific. Even my old xfce 4.2 already did that (and "right button" click does a horizontal maximize). Although it wasn't automatic, I even already had something like that working (configured in its config) in fvwm-2 (in Slackware 3.x). -- ******************************************************************* ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.

One of the amusing thing about immortal threads is their drift. I fully agree with what you said. How many have introduced *known* non-working parts of major applications on upgrade? But this *is* drift. -- --- Paul J. Gans

What are you doing? Attacking my position or defending it? I don't like the way the transition was hendled either and said that there should have been a clear migration path. And I said so upthread. -- --- Paul J. Gans

At the time the bug was first introduced there were several informal fixes posted on the openSUSE pages. None made it into a released system. That was sad. But as you point out, it wasn't a major problem. -- --- Paul J. Gans |
