Hi,
Whenever I call kpdf to view a pdf-document, it starts as a "small" ribbon of approximately 240x1100 pixels on the top of the desktop. Of course this window can be elongated via mouse actions. Tedious. I altered the kpdf.desktop-file to execute "/opt/trinity/bin/kpdf --geometry 950x1170 --caption "%c"" and now the window is expanded to my liking. But when Slavek releases an alteration to the kpdf package - quite often the case - my .desktop gets overwritten and I get again the ribbon. And must again correct the .desktop-file. Pita. Is there a method to keep this file in "my" state and not overwrite it blindely? The "i" flag is not a viable solution.
Rgds. Peter.
I have been seeing this since ever (sorry for not reporting the bug).
When the navigation area in kpdf is shown (it remembers this setting) and you open a document, then kpdf opens in a window which is vertically sparsely extended. It doesn't behave like this if you launch kpdf without a document. Also, when the document doesn't have the chapter or overview part, i.e. in a scanned document, kpdf does not open in this shrinked way.
If the navigation area is not shown kpdf opens vertically maximally extended like expected.
We probably should report a BUG.

Kind regards, Stefan
