Richard,
Thank you for your reply which explains the problem. Do you have a way out
of this ? It seems that once it has happened, it happens every time whether
or not I attempt to move the window. I have ended up doing a complete
reinstall which now seems OK. I have, by the way not changed the KDE window
placement policy but I have to admit that ,while very good, KDE2 is a little
fragile at times !
Regards
