Workarea is the place all normal windows should be limited to, e.g. if you maximize a window, it should fill it. So temporary changes should not alter the workarea, and autohide works that way, but I somehow doubt people will agree with you that manual kicker hiding is something temporary. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/
