Opened windows leave panel sized gap at top

[webheadjunky]

HI there
Running Kubuntu Jaunty KDE 4.3.2
Noticed a new problem after the 4.3.2 update in that for some reason, any new window I open falls a little short of the top edge of the screen
Yet I can resise it manually to fill the screen
It's almost as if there is an invisible panel/toolbar at the top....
Hope someone can help
Cheers

Re: Opened windows leave panel sized gap at top

I'm not sure if this is any help but try it...

• Right-click the icon in the top left corner of the window and select Advanced from the menu. This lists a bunch of other settings including Fullscreen, No Borders, etc.
  
• There's a couple there called Special Windows Settings and Special Applications Settings. Amongst a lot of other things they allow you to always open windows in a particular location. For example you can always centre non-maximised windows.

It's just a guess but perhaps it's a setting in there ...

Thanks but couldn't fix it. I also think that setting would have to be tweaked for every application....surely there must be a global setting somewhere??

I remember having a similar issue in gnome but was directed to an easy fix via a reinstall of metacity

Is ther something like that in KDE4??

Re: Opened windows leave panel sized gap at top

Your right there is a panel at the top of the screen and possible one down the side

I just had the same problem. There is an icon at both the top left and the top right of my screen. It looks a bit like the way children draw a sun in top corner of a page.

Right mount click on it and select the "remove this panel"

Voila problem/feature gone away!
