windows visual preferences messed up after log-in

[inkbottle <inkbottle007@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Since an odd fortnight to a month, many default visual parameters are weird. 
Let me be more specific:

Every times I open Kmail, the "list" part of the main window, "subject", 
"senders", "date", are crammed to the left. Just to the point you can't read 
anything meaningful. For instance all subjects are restricted to "Re:...".

But the main point is, mouse-sliding the column separators, works only until 
you close the window: every time it is closed and then opened back again, the 
modifications I made to the column width are lost, and everything is again in 
its unreadable configuration.

Errata: I've just check: it's every times you log-out log-in again.

Along the same line:

Every times I open Kmail after logging, it opens in full-screen. I could force 
it with "special window setting", but that's not the point. Of course I mouse-
change the geometry, but each times it re-open full screen.

Along the same line:

I usually have two konsole windows. One of them is restored correctly but not 
the other one. That point might be related to my using two monitors, though.

And again:

There is the poor session tab management of okular, which "could" be related, 
or not  (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335852).

All those points really hinder the usability of the desktop, because, when you 
have papers arranged on you desk, you expect them to be at the same place when 
you come back the next day. You are not supposed to spend half an hour to 
carefully put every paper in some drawer, and writing a very complicated note 
to yourself, and the next day spend a similar amount of time, reorganizing 
your desk.

Anyway, that might be only me.

Also, I do have to turn my computer off each day, because second monitor "dpms" 
energy saving is random, sometimes it steadily works and sometimes, it turns 
the monitor on and off at a three minutes like frequency, and I'm afraid that 
might just kill the monitor.

And if I use the monitor power button, everything is messed up when I turn it 
back on, issue which I understand is widespread.

And even the resolution is wrong (when I use monitor poser button), most of 
the time, to the point that `drm_info`, doesn't return even the possibility of 
the correct resolution.

All that put together, I'm compelled to turn off the computer every days, which 
is unusual thing to do, and might explain I'm the only one experiencing those 
weird window placements and other faulty columns things.

Thanks,
Chris
