No.  I very, very rarely maximize any window.  I have gnome installed
and the same problem exists for me when I use that desktop, so I don't
think it's a KDE problem.  Seems like someone besides me should be
whining though.

I remember a while back, I had the same problem, and with an update, it
was fixed.  Then, with another update, it reoccurred.  Oh, well...  it
certainly isn't the end of the world, just as I said, a minor annoyance.
I was hoping someone would have a simply "do this" fix.
