The window rules are only needed if you wish to change a window's normal behavior. Thus, no need to add a rule unless you don't like the current behavior, and you can add (or delete) rules irrespective of whether there's a default rule there or not. Here, I have a whole list of rules changing behavior for specific windows. Some windows I always want in a specific location so I have that set. Some I want a specific minimum size so that's set. Some inconveniently remember where they were and always try to start there, but I want them to use kde's default "smart" window placement instead, so that's set. A few I want without titlebars so that's set. Etc. If I want the behavior changed, I change it. It doesn't matter whether there were default window rules entries or not, and in fact, I normally prefer not, since then I might have my own rule that I know about and some default rule both trying to work on the same window, potentially with results I hadn't expected. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
