May exact problem: That is the case with kdm. It tells the apps that 'maximum' has become smaller. > I can grab e.g. a konsole and move it with the mouse to the top. and drop > it there.

There is NO WAY to get it moved from that position anymore but There always is. :-) Right mouse button anywhere on the corners, or hold ALT and drag anywhere. > to hide the window panel and grab it at the few pixels that are still > there.

No (at least that was what I was told when I filed a bug about this during KDE1 times): KDE cannot and doesn't want to actually _prevent_ apps from going underneath other windows, because that is the whole point of window mangement. It only provides hints (and thank $DEITY these are standardized) to the applications, where available screen space is. mplayer for example doesn't listen to these hints and always places itself in the top right corner. This is annoying (because I have my kicker bar at the top) but it's not kwm's fault. > Also, there is a nasty thing in the configuration dialog of konqueror for > a few version by now.

This is annoying, too, but it seems I > am the only one having such problems, am I? No. It's cosmetics, and many developers aren't really interested in the 'final polish'. KDE needs this however - one thing I don't like is that when you alt-F2-rename a file and press ENTER the 'cursor' goes back to top left (first file icon) in Konqueror.
