Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kwin
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Problem:
windows automatically maximize in the KDE 4.1.2/3 desktop. Minimizing is
sort of possible with resizing, but the windows do not have any
decoration then. I confirmed to run kwin and 'kwin --replace & disown'
did not help, as suggested on ubuntuforums [0]
Machines:
Yesterday, this happened in one machine, and this morning after reboot
on my other laptop too. Both are upgraded from Hardy. On the first I
repeatedly removed the .kde folder (renamed it to .kde.old), and per
Riddel's comments on IRC, I made sure I had no funny window preferences
in kwin*rc. I had the problem with the default 4.1.2, and since my
second laptop ran 4.1.3 did not have the problem, I upgraded.
The second machine I upgraded a few weeks back already, and only started
showing the problem today, with a last reboot 4 days ago. In that time,
I installed several packages, one of which may have set some automagic
parameter, possible a dependency of 'ubuntu-mobile'?
Suggestions on how to debug this most welcome.
Details:
$ apt-cache policy kwin
