okular always starts fully maximized

[Armelius Cameron]

Hello,

For some reason whenever I start okular it always start fully maximized, i.e. 
it doesn't remember its last state of windows size(e.g. resized, not 
maximized). It doesn't matter how I open it, it cant be from command-line or 
from clicking PDF file. 

Is anyone else seeing this ? 

Okular 0.13.3, KDE 4.7.4, fully updated F16.

Thanks.
AC

This behavior has caused me to quit using okular.  I'm now using a mixture of evince,
acroread, and xpdf.

Worksforme.

Try to reproduce for a new user, and if it works, compare his config files with 
yours.

Same here, 64bit arch.

Hi,

It works for me ... after some tries. The same is happening with Konsole. I 
just saw that Dolpin thinks that konsolerc and okularrc (in 
~/.kde/share/config) are desktop configuration files instead of plain text 
documents. Don't know if this can cause the issues.

Hi again,

There seems to be something else relevant. I've two monitors. Setting the size 
on one monitor wasn't enough. Opening/closing okular/konsole on the second 
monitor was necessary to alter the size.

Hi, I think you hit the issue here... 
I use two monitors two (laptop + external). And this issue is not only on 
okular. It's on _every_ applications: konsole, dolphin, etc. I needed to 
change the size on both monitor for the application to remember the sizes.

Wow... KDE has really gone downhill regarding multi-head support...

I think this also manifests itself when you remove a screen too. I
think the root cause inside the Activities config. I haven't tried on
4.8 RC, but on 4.7, if I unplug a screen, screen position settings
info is grabbed from an rc that is activity related (sorry - can't
recall the details). Only fix for me was to plug the monitor in, or
remove the rc files.
