For some time now, whenever I open a PDF file with kpdf, its window appears only a few inches tall instead of the max height from when I have previously closed it. I have tried to use Advanced => Special Window Settings => Maximized vertically [force], but that doesn't work. Now the main kmail window is starting to do the same thing. What's causing this, and how can I fix it?
Sounds like something is eating your config files/settings? You can check that by using find with a time ago setting:
cd /home find michael -newermt $(date +%Y-%m-%d -d '1 day ago') -type f -iname "*.html"
Try updating a special window setting and change the above to check every file for say 5 seconds ago to see where it got stored. Make a copy of it, then check it again after it gets 'broken.'
Not the complete solution, but should help some.
