           Summary: [PATCH] Save/restore windows position
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marainos at yahoo.it


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I modified kmainwindow.cpp, kmainwindow.h and kmainwindow_p.h adding the option
to automaticaly store and retreive windows position.

As stated in http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/geometry.html#x11-peculiarities (also
applies to qt 4.4 and 4.5), there's no simple fix for this problem. I simply
added the code snippets suggested by qt developers.

I tested this patch in Kde 4.2 beta 2 (recompiled via kdesvn-build) on xubuntu
8.10 and it works..

To apply the patch:
copy these 3 files in <your kde-root src>/kdelibs/kdeui/widgets

To compile ONLY kdeui lib:
kdesvn-build kdelibs/kdeui --no-svn

Testing:

Recompile one simple app, like Tutorial03
(http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KXmlGuiWindow).
Start kde4 and run Tutorial03 application. Window position get stored in your
configrc in ~.kde4/share/config/tutorial03rc 

You should recompile all the other modules otherwise some program may crash,
like konsole:
kdesvn-build --no-svn

I'm not a c++ guru so please test it... (win32/OSX too)
If you think it is ok i'd like see this patch integrated, because on a wide
monitor it's a pain to rearrange all windows every time.
