I am using uptodate KDE on Fedora 15 (x86_64). I skipped Fedora 14, and went directly
from Fedora 13 to 15. I am generally quite happy with the changes to KDE in F15,
espcially being able to bring up a useable menu with a middle mouse button click on the
background. There is one change from F13 that I am not happy about, however. I have
defined a key combination to maximize a window. In F13, a second use of this
combination would undo the maximize. In F15, a second use only does an undo for a motif
window. Simple X windows ( and others ) seem to ignore the second use. Is something
not configured correctly? Is there someother way to undo the maximize?

If you go to System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures > Global
Shortcuts, select KWin under "KDE Component", and define a shortcut
for "Maximize Window", that shortcut should toggle it like you want.
Is that how you configured it?

Yes, this is where I set the shortcut. It works for more than I was remembering, as the
Qt windows will undo as well as the motif windows. It does not undo for plain X windows
(xterm, etc) and for Tk windows (at least the ones I use). These did work back in F13,
so I'm wondering if there is something else I need to set to have them work. As I
said,
KDE is working better now than it did before, so I can learn to live with this.

Hmm, I just tried it on xterm and it works fine. However, I'm using
KDE 4.7, while Fedora 15 ships with KDE 4.6, so this might be a
regression that they fixed. (Unfortunately I can't easily test 4.6
right now.)
If you'd like, you can try upgrading to 4.7. Unfortunately, it can't
be shipped as an update to Fedora 15 due to upstream packaging
changes, so you'll have to install it from a special repository
maintained by one of the Fedora KDE SIG members. To do so, just run
the following commands as root:
curl http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/rdieter/kde47/fedora-kde47.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-kde47.repo
yum update
For more information on the 4.7 repo, see this thread:

Sorry, my e-mail client split up the first command. The first two
lines should be typed all on one line.

OK, I think I'll give this a try later today. My machine is pretty busy just now, but
I've been considering giving 4.7 a try and this is a good reason to do so.

Going to 4.7 fixed the undo problem. But I've had to back up to kdepim from fedora
updates to get kmail to run. Everything else seems to be OK, so I think I'll stay
with
4.7 for everything else.
