Lately I've been frequently switching to plasma-desktop when using an external monitor with my netbook, and I've also customized some apps to start with an unmaximized window.

Then suddenly my plasma-netbook got cross it seems and began denying me its feature of integrating application title bars into the panel.

Can someone please tell me how I can make up with my beloved plasma-netbook?

Luckily, I still have the menu integration, but I'm afraid I might also lose it soon if I don't do something to make up

Look in the file ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc (might be .kde instead of .kde4) and see if you can find the line

Code: Select all

BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true

If not, add it to the [Windows] section. Log out, log in again, and you should have your desired behavior back.

Opened the file ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc with Kate.
Changed the value of BorderlessMaximizedWindows (I wonder who changed it behind my back) from false to true.
Restarted.
Voila!

Thank you so much Hans

PS. I've found the culprit for this

The method of toggling plasma desktop and netbook workpaces I've adopted from the thread viewtopic.php?f=67&t=96864 apparently has been changing my screen as require but the actual setting in System Settings/Workspace Behaviour/Workspace has been kept in Desktop mode even when I switched to Netbook workspace in that way.

Therefore I need some fine-tuning in toggling workspaces.
