Tip

If you are unfamiliar with creating KWin Rules, see this detailed example to base your new rule.

Full-screen Re-size Error

Emacs and gVim, when maximized (full-screen mode) and under certain conditions may encounter window re-sizing issues - see Emacs window resizes ... A KWin Rule will work-around the issue.

  4. Click through to complete entry of the rule.
