I have two separate but related KDE questions for RedHat 6.1 and 6.2. Both
machines have both GNOME and KDE (1.1.2), but are configured to use KDE
window manager (kwm).
On the RedHat 6.1 machine, when I "startx", I get KDE window display,
with a couple windows and a bar across the top of the screen with
buttons/icons corresponding to the windows. This seems to conform with
what the documentation would lead me to expect. Unfortunately, this
top bar conflicts with one of the features I use frequently, namely the
ability to toggle a window between normal height and full-screen
height. When I do the vertical-maximize, the name stripe on the window
is obscured by the bar across the top of the screen, so I can't get at
that window's control buttons. Is there some way around this? One
the screenshots at the KDE website showed this bar at the bottom, but
I couldn't find a way to reposition it.
On a second machine, I repartitioned the disk and did a fresh install
of RedHat 6.2. Strangely, the top bar doesn't appear at all in KDE on
that machine. If I "iconify" a window, all traces of it on the screen
disappear -- no icons or anything. I can get to the windows to
uniconify them only through the window-list brought up by the middle
mouse button. Is this a bug or some kind of installation problem?
