Bug#462692: xorg: after rotation kde panel stuck in place

["Martins Krikis" <db001@sanevision.com>]

Thanks for the response, sorry, it's taken me a while to try this out.

Using TWM the situation is a touch better---it has no objections to the window's
bottom edge going below the previously mentioned line during resizing.
It still would not let me get the window's top edge to go below this
line, regardless
of how small the window itself has been made first. So the bug is still there.
Any other window manager I should try? (Compiz was acting really weird in this
setup but it may not be supposed to be able to deal with it.)
