OK, I've looked, can't find anything that looks reasonable...

When I crack open a window (Firefox, Thunderird, Konsole, whatever) the thing anchors itself to the right instead of the left on a wide screen display (and then I drag it to the left where it's in front of where I'm normally looking). Bah, humbug.

I do have GKrellM set to remember the screen location and move to it at next start up (and that's at the lower right corner). Got anything to do with KDE doing the same thing? Is there some setting that I can't seem to find in KDE that'll send newly opened windows to the left top instead of the right bottom?

It's annoying, not maddening, just annoying.

Thanks if somebody knows the magic trick.

Check out the window-specific settings (right-clicking the window title for example), you can set rules there.

Thank you for that -- seems like every time this thing gets "improved" it become a larger carbuncle on the hiney of folk to just use the blasted thing.

Sigh.

As a workaround, you can also set kwins global keyboard shortcut for "pack window to the left" etc, in kde systemsettings.

Found the good fix -- blow away .kde and .config and startx; works the way it's supposed to now.

Bah, humbug.
