Dear Maintainer,

After installing KDE (plasma window manager) instead gnome (with metacitry) I got this behavior:

After pressing maximize button window with terminal maximize and start resize itself to minimal possilble size one by one in time (like animation).

Repeatable.

I have this error too.

A number of people has described this problem:

See for example:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707664

http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=97326

The workarounds they describe works.
Problem is for example that the controls in kde:s dialogs is localized
which means that i as a swede has localized controls in swedish but
theese workarounds is written in english.

You also need to know about X11's window classes.

I would assign this error to kWIN.

Dear Maintainer,

When I start gnome-terminal in a xephyr window,
It starts at normal size and then quickly shrinks to
the smallest possible size.

Same result when hotssh starts it in xephyr.

fyi: mrxvt works fine in xephyr.

workaround: set custom terminal size to anything too large to fit
in your xephyr window. drag smaller as needed.
