KDE maximize button wont restore window size
Last modified: 2005-11-03 11:00:18 UTC
I am using SUSE 10 which comes with KDE 3.4.2. After maximizing an xterm window (using the maximize icon), clicking the maximize icon again does nothing. I am expecting the window to be restored to its original size (before maximizing). At least this has been the behavior as far as I can remember. Can anybody explain how to get this behavior back?

While this issue may be related to bug 61153, I read the entire bug report, and it's not the same problem. Can you indicate how the resolution of 61153 address this issue? Where is the fix? Thanks
Upgraded to xterm-205 and still have the same problem. (In reply to comment #1) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 61153 *** >
You need to turn off a workaround for older xterm versions: Alt+F3/Advanced/Window Specific Settings/Workarounds/Strictly obey geometry -> set to Force and leave the checkbox turned off. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 61153 ***
its still the same issue. you can use the workaround pointed out there (Strictly obey window geometry to force). I can not reproduce the bug with xterm 205. so did you upgrade manually (recompile xterm) or did you upgrade to suse 10.1 ? please correct the bug product accordingly when you reopen. more information what exactly you updated and some rpm --changelog is needed.
I downloaded it from: ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/suse/projects/m17n/10.0/RPMS/i586/xterm-205-1.1.i586.rpm and did an updgrade package with rpm. Is that the right rpm? or do I need to build the source? Where do I get the src from? I am still using suse 10.

Downloaded the source for 205 from ftp://invisible-island.net/xterm/ and built it myself. Same issue is there. No help. The workaround posted above only works if you do it every time you open a new window. Even though the setting is retained, it does not work unless you actually go back there and click ok every time a new xterm is created.
Downloaded 205-3 from SUSE 10.1 packages and upgraded. No help. Original size wont restore.
What's described in comment #4 works just fine for me. What exactly doesn't work with it for you and what happens?
works for me too if I repeat the same procedure everytime I open a new xterm. Is this what you mean by "works just fine"? If so, then I agree. Problem is I open a ton of xterms a day as a developer, but if this is all that can done, I guess I'd need to use something else.
No, if I say it works fine then it works fine here. Please attach your ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrulesrc and xprop output for two (random) your xterm windows.
upgrade to KDE 3.5beta2 and problem is gone. I installed to my home directory so I still have KDE 3.4 installed. If you are interested I can try to load that again and get the info you requested. Otherwise, I dont mind using 3.5 beta.
worksforme then
