waaaaa! it seems like kde stores the position and size of a window in combination with his internal name or something like that. i don't know exactly.
so my "Store Settings" - hint won't work for long... First time you click "Send / Receive" the statuswindow pops up. seems like it has the same name as the composer- window. result is, that the settings stored just one seconds before got overwritten with the position and size of the statuswindow... next time you click "New Mail" it will open as tiny as the statuswindow and will only resize to fit the minimum needs for some gui elements needed in this window... wuaaaa. *g* Manuel On Mon, 2001-12-03 at 10:45, Manuel Streuhofer wrote: > hehe... found it. it's really easy.... > > just for info if anyone beside me uses evo under kde > and wants to save window-positions... > > when the window is open and has the position and size > you want... just right-click on the window-top-bar > and select "Store Settings" > > from this moment on the window always opens as left > bevore. :) > > Manuel > > On Mon, 2001-12-03 at 10:09, Manuel Streuhofer wrote: > > morning :) > > > > no i don't have the window-placement set on "smart". > > it was set to random. > > > > to the size-"problem"> the main window isn't the problem. > > it's just as you told. it remembers the size and position > > and starts maximized. > > > > hmmm... i think i should post my question at the kde- > > mailinglist.... > > > > thanks.. :) > > > > On Mon, 2001-12-03 at 06:13, Lonnie Borntreger wrote: > > > On Sun, 2001-12-02 at 10:26, Manuel Streuhofer wrote: > > > > i'm using evo under kde. because of that i can't say the > > > > windowmanager should save the windowposition and size for > > > > the next use. > > > > > > I use Evolution under KDE also, and it does save the window size (see > > > below for position comments).
