Have a Problem with KDE on Slackware 13.37
 

I am running Slack 13.37 an this is not my first rodeo by a long shot. Did a fresh install about 4 days ago on my new machine. Everything was fine it ran great and still does actually. The only problem I am having is the KDE windows are all opening maximized. I have tried unticking the options in in Windows behavior. No effect what so ever. I even set a specific rule for one program and it did nothing. Even FF downloads is coming out maximized!! I am at a loss here and could use a little guidance.

Hi

Maybe try renaming ~/.kde to something else before startx.
Or if in runlevel 4 login to another window manager before
renaming ~/.kde

Once renamed log back into kde to see
if the issue reoccurs.

Sounds like a window manager problem, are you running compiz? Compositing defaults to on, but it still uses kwin. On my system (13.37 with KDE 4.6.5), starting compiz removes window decoration.

No compiz straight KDE. Logged into my root account and the window behavior is normal.

It's likely a dotfile configuration glitch, did you try jmccue's advice?

I fixed it. I had to use a template to make all the windows and applications that size. I do not know why it started doing this. From the looks of google I am not the only one with this problem either.
