Some windows from a remote server (connected to via ssh -X) need geometries that are slightly larger than the screen.
In older versions of KDE (I am still using 2.1.1 on some machines) the window manager tried to resize that window such that it does not overlap with the panel. By clicking that panel to the right it was possible to avoid this problem. KDE tried to resize the window a couple of times but after a sufficient number of resize requests it gave up and left the window have the size it specified with its geometry (e.g. +-12+-2).
Unfortunately this method no longer works under the current 4.3.1.
Is there some way to get geometries interpreted literally?
(The alternative seems to be a failsafe session or cygwin. Both are not very attractive.)
I asked a similar question also about GNOME and it seems to be impossible there. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1259004
