open windows get resized to full height after exiting game

[myfg]

Do you have any strange configuration for KDE that would be causing this and your other issue??

the only kde related changes i think i made was increased the virtual desktops to 12, added a few widgets on the desktop and added a few additional application icons on the panel. i don't have desktop effects enabled. Unless this problem is maybe something to do with the ati drivers and the dual radeon cards setup in crossfirex with an lcd running at the default 2560x1600 dual link dvi lcd resolution. if anything that would be the "strange" configuration i have done for my install. the game is set to run at a different resolution (the max game resolution 1920x1200) so when exiting the game it initially shows the desktop compressed on the screen (ie the panel which i keep at the bottom appears at around the 3/4 down the screen) within what appears to be the same resolution as the game and then a few seconds later is goes back to the default 2560x1600 resolution.

I am also running a 64bit OS with 32bit libs (my catalyst 9.6 driver is 64bit), so maybe that could be causing some problems. I see another post from today in this forum with problems, but much worse than my situation, running jaunty 64bit with ati graphics.
