This is one of several reasons why I still use KDE3 as primary desktop. I don't think this upstream by-design brokenness ever got or will get fixed so that's easy as checking a box in settings to eliminate. Discussion of what's happening and various workarounds can be found here: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde&m=138500063519171&w=2 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323504 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325286
Yow! What a mess. I can so relate with those who posted the requests for an option to disable this behavior. It is exasperating to have developers continue to refuse to consider user's needs for some idealized new feature(s) and for me (and countless others) to have to suffer through, day-by-day, using such "features". [sigh ...].
Thanks for the info! BTW, I just don't have the bandwidth to keep a KDE3 setup running, though I was very happy with it when I had been using it.
I'm not experiencing the offset you've described or is discussed in the threads that Felix shared the links for, but within those threads I discovered that user 'thomas12777' at kde-look.org posted a fix he's called 'Screen Snapping 1.0'. It's a Kwin Script published at <http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=160851>. The comment at the very bottom of that page says "This is the solution I was looking for. You might want to add to the description that users need to go to their System Settings > Window Behavior > KWin Scripts to enable it." My experience was that I had to go to that tab and click 'import' then navigate to and select it. It wasn't added to the list of installed scripts until I returned to 'Overview' then reopened the 'Kwin Scripts' dialogue.
