Okay, I've just installed KDE4.6.2 onto my pre-existing installation of Natty Narwhal by installing the kde-standard metapackage. Trying to run KDE with the kwin window manager, I have two, possibly related problems.
First: every single window is opening up automatically maximized. This includes dialog boxes. I can find nothing to suggest why this is the default behaviour for all windows, and can't find anything that will change it.
Second: when a window is maximized, it has no titlebar. I can reduce them to normal size by right clicking the window in the task manager and unticking the "maximize" option. This then gives the window a titlebar. But if the window is then maximised again, the titlebar goes away again.
I currently have Unity, Ubuntu Classic and KDE available as options for desktop environments. I would like to use KDE, but this default window behaviour is infuriating. It doesn't show up in the other environments so far, just in KDE. Please help.
