Since I upgraded to KDE Frameworks 6 I have observed some rather unwanted window behaviours.
1. Window Interaction with Gkrellm DESIRED BEHAVIOUR: ================== I have Gkrellm started up by Plasma at login and placed at the top left of the screen. I can't remember where/how I set this up, but at least it is still respected by KDE 6. I've always set Gkrellm via its Configuration > General > Properties with: + Set sticky state + Set window type to be a dock or panel This allowed the following interaction with other application windows: - Other windows would launch without overlapping the Gkrellm window. On an otherwise empty desktop they would be placed on the right of it. - When a window was maximised it did not extend sideways to cover the whole screen beyond the position of the the Grkellm. - When I dragged a window to force it to infringe the boundary of the Gkrellm window, the Gkrellm would overlap the dragged window. UNDESIRED BEHAVIOUR: =================== With KDE Frameworks 6, Gkrellm is not recognised/respected fully as a dock panel: Other application windows will maximise to the full width of the screen and be overlapped by Gkrellm. When the maximised window is a terminal, this can be quite unhelpful. If I unset Gkrellm as a dock, then when I launch some application window Gkrellm will be overlapped indiscriminately. I tried playing with various Gkrellm and KDE window settings, but I can't get it to interact with other windows in KDE 6 as it did in KDE 5. 2. Kmail compose window ======================= The kmail composer window launches at the same size as the main kmail window. If I shrink it down to a more manageable size, then next time I launch kmail the main window is as small as I had shrunk its composer window. In KDE 5 the kmail main window and composer window sizes were dealt as separate windows with their own size settings. Now one seems to inherit the dimensions of the other. Have you experienced anything similar? How could I revert this unwanted window management behaviour to what KDE 5 window management was like? PS. Extra bonus points for someone who can offer an explanation why kmail spellcheck suddenly started applying US English as opposed to the actual setting of British English. o_O
