yes, setting up behavior rules for certain windows is nice, but i often  
find these settings get screwed up: either by a plasma crash, or by an  
update sooner or later. happened a few times that i had to remove most of  
my painstakingly prepared window rules, because at one point all windows  
opened as tiny squares in the upper left corner, per example. now i use  
that only sparingly.
