Subject: smart placement patch (kdebase/kwin/workspace.cpp)

Hello Matthias!

I use 'smart' window placement and have always been a little annoyed at
the way it leaves a 1-pixel gap along the right and bottom edges of the
screen when placing windows.  I stared at smartPlacement() for a long
time today and I think I understand it now :)

Here is a patch that fixes this off-by-one error, I have tested it and
it seems to work correctly.

The idea is that if you have a left coord of 'l' and a width of 'w'
the right coord is not 'l + w' but is actually 'l + (w - 1)'.
