I am running KDE, but, for some purposes, I find evince works better than okular. I just did a fedup upgrade to F21 from F20 and everything seems to be working well so far, but an evince window now has no border or (window manager) titlebar. One particular annoyance with that, aside from making that window look funny, is that it makes it hard to move the evince window to another desktop without dragging it all the way--there's no button that gives "Move To Desktop". I tried gnome-terminal, just to see if it was all gnome applications, and it has a perfectly good titlebar and border.
How do I get the titlebar and border back? I would have thought this was controlled by the destop/window manager, not the individual application, but I can't find a setting where something special has been done for evince.
Thanks,
George

I think this is part of the debate about "Client-side decorations" (CSD).

Thanks. I read a few things quickly. Maybe I won't keep using evince....
Out of curiosity, as you mentioned that evince is working better than Okular for you. What are the features missing/not working/not at the same level?

I stopped using okular about 1 year ago, because it won't print my pdfs correctly. I need them landscape/scale to fit page. evince and acroread do this correctly. Despite messing with options, I can't get okular to do this.
Typically, what I'm printing are pdfs created by matplotlib.

Have you filed a bug report? I can't remember any printing issues in my day to day usage.

Well, for one thing, I just needed to print a document on lettersize paper that's not formatted for that. Evince has a "shrink to printable area" option, as well as "auto rotate and center" or "select page size using document page size". Okular wants to print the pages with the printed area running off the top of the page, and I can't find an easy way to fix that. Maybe that's my fault, but it's easier to just use evince.
