Apparently, the main window starts with something other than Pan as the title to begin with, and by the time it has adjusted, kwin has already locked on it and decided what size to make it, as it doesn't match. Further complicating things is that the window title includes the group and post titles when they are selected, so it's always changing, and the fact that I the tasks window says Pan as well (tho the posting window doesn't), and the negative lookahead functionality doesn't seem to be working, either -- I either get several of the windows, or none of them. The tasks window, posting window, and main window, are all three "normal windows" too, in terms of type. (Selecting "normal window" only /does/ eliminate the log window from the match, as it's dialog window, but not the posting window, which is the most irritating.) > I agree, though, that it would probably be a good idea to set these > window > roles and such appropriately.

Agreed that it'll affect only a relative few, and I'd not bother posting it, except that if my admittedly non-C/C++ programmer guess is correct, the fix should be trivial boilerplate, and will likely take less time than our posts did. =8^) It'll need fixed at some point, and if it's that trivial, might as well get it crossed off the list now, rather than later, especially since it'll fix someone's problem with it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
