           Summary: Loss display window settings (but the settings are
                    kept)
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

        ReportedBy: rsimone77@...


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)

Kwin remember the view settings of all windows that I configured, but if I look
at the settings in the next time that I launch the application, it is no longer
configured even if the settings covered previously are kept

Sorry I do not understand what you are talking about. Could you please explain
a little bit more? Like what you have configured and where? What you expected
to work and what doesn't?

sounds like either a path conflict or insufficient access permissions.

@Simone
- do you have both directories ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 (DO NOT create one if not)
- run "chmod -R +w ~/.kde" (assuming ~/.kde is your present local KDE path)

you're right,    
I have not provided enough information for the bug reported.
This is the problem:
After that I configured the size and position of windows in each applications
(Dolphin, kate, etc), in the next time that I start every applications it has a
size and position that I configured but if I look the windows settings (Special
Window Settings->Geometry) they are disable.

Sorry for my bad english

please open a terminal (konsole) and (given ~/.kde is your local dir, check for
~/.kde4 as well) enter:

ls ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrul*
stat ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrulesrc

1st: before adding a new rule
2nd: right after adding it
3rd: after restarting the ruled app (and the rule is gone)

ok, file exists, you've write permisions and actually write sth. to it (the
file size grows and stays like this) so my last guess is that you apply a too
strict filter.

right click the titlebar, select "configure window behaviour", open the "window
specific" page.
do your rules show up there?

Anyway you could attach kwinrulesrc for inspection in case the above don't lead
you to a fix
