If you are suggesting that I simply select KDE as I
log in, I've already tried that with no success. To
the best of my understanding, this is not a GNOME/KDE
issue. The issue here is the window manager that is
packaged with Fedora.
It is a KDE/GNOME issue. KDE uses a window manager called Kwin, and
GNOME uses a window manager called metacity. metacity is a very
simplistic window manager without a lot of bells & whistles. I don't use
KDE so I'm unfamiliar with kwin. If you want more functionality out of
your window manager, look at a program called devil's pie
(
http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie?flav=xhtml). It adds a
bit more options to metacity.
Or you could install sawfish, and use that as your GNOME window manager.
Or openbox, that's another nice GTK+ 2.x window manager that integrates
with GNOME.
