Okay, I'm new to KDE, but familiar with GTK. PLEASE will somebody tell me how to get rid of the useless screen edges that have the green "+" and red "-". I don't know what they do, at this point I really don't care. Maybe later when I find out how to control the feature it may be of some use.
When I launch some applications and widows as Maximized, they fall behind so that when my mouse hovers over my window controls (maximize and minimize) I can not use them as I am BLOCKED by the ghost panel edge border I don't even know what it is so I can't find any information out about it but I DO KNOW it's *#&$%^*&^$%@&^$@ USELESS to me right now! PLEASE HELP.

Not sure what you're talking about, can you please post a screenshot?
