y, i'm unsure why this menu entry is even there. imho people should sim=

benefit to having it in the right click menu?

now, i say that as someone who uses that menu item fairly often. so for *me=

 but as a *developer* and watching others use KWin it's not an often us=

personally, despite my own use of this menu item, i think it's somethin=

A fair en=

What I am unsure about is how much do we screw over the documentation teams=
. A google search on "Configure window behavior" KDE gives > 5=

 useful feature.

i don't=
 agree that providing support is any easier or harder than starting with &q=

the documentation references are a killer. for that reason i withdraw my pr=

Review request for kwin and Plasma.

Descripti= on

Adding Plasma to get general feedback on this idea.

The context menu entry to "Configure Window Behavior" opens the
configuration of the window manager and not about the window.
In the past the shown configuration dialog only contained entries
affecting the window behavior but that is no longer true for the
complete KDE 4.x series since Desktop Effects had been added to
the menu. This change in naming reflects the situation and should
help to remove confusion.
