windowState error Qt 3.3.4

[tt]

windowState seems to have changed behavior between 3.3.3 and 3.3.4. If I make a short window span the width of my screen, the windowState changes to Qt::WindowMaximized. This shows up in the qDebug statements from the test code as well as the icons in the window frame. The same thing happens if I make a skinny window span the height of my screen. By the way, all windows in 3.3.4 have this behavior.

I checked the Qt bug list and haven't found any fixes. Is the behavior the same in later releases?

The system also 'forgets' the size and location of the dialog if I move it to the edge of the screen. The scenario is:

1. move window to left edge.
2. make the dialog wider to the right.
3. pick showNormal button on dialog -> size and position stay the same.
4. make the dialog as wide as the screen.
5. pick showMaximized -> size and position stay the same.
6. pick showNormal -> size and position change to where it was when the dialog opened.

What compounds this problem is that the virtual slots showNormal and showMaximized aren't called when the window frame buttons are picked, so I don't know how to change the behavior.

Any ideas? I want to make a short but full screen width dialog behave as a normal window size.

I've attached my test project code.

windowState seems to have changed behavior between 3.3.3 and 3.3.4.

There are some entries in the changelog for Qt 3.3.4:

- QWidget
Disable minimize/maximize system menu entries for Alt+Space
menu correctly.
Restore geometry correctly when switching between FullScreen
and Maximized window states.
...
- QWidget
Fixed bug in showMaximized()/showNormal().

but they don't concern the X11 version.

Is the behavior the same in later releases?

I have Qt 3.3.5 and it behaves the same.

SOLVED:

This is a KDE problem. See bug list at

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112924

Comments say it will be fixed in KDE 3.5.

I was using KDE 3.4.2 'level b'

Comments say it will be fixed in KDE 3.5.

I use KDE 3.5.1:

$ kde-config --version
Qt: 3.3.5
KDE: 3.5.1
kde-config: 1.0
