I made a change that adds the sleep(1) in case the wm_name is
"KWin" and kde the version number is 3.1.x.
The version number check is done in the ogle script
and checks that the output from kwin --version is
KDE = "3.1."
and KWin = "0.95"
and in that case sets the environment variable OGLE_KWIN_BUG
So in case there are more version affected this script can be changed.
Could you test this?
I don't see why your window would be incorreclty
positioned/sized, especially if you don't use a wm at all
Another user tested the new vesrsion with
$ kwin --version
Qt: 3.1.1
KDE: 3.1.0
KWin: 0.95
and reported that fullscreen worked mostly, but
sometimes he got the same problem with the mispositioned window.
Going back to normal window and then fullscreen fixed it.
I don't know why this happens.
