Bug#369635: kicker: "maximize all" fails to fully maximize   Inbox

 To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit bugs debian org>

...

i have kicker (kde panel with taskbar in it) set as follows.
i deleted ~/.kde before making changes.

      group tasks
      autohide immediately
      on top left
      custom size of 100 pixels
      classic style rather than elegant
      analog clock
      one dockapp running
      no launchers
      hide button on left
      no animation

otherwise pretty much default.

what i want is full maximization of all windows when i maximize them.
i also want panel being on top when i move the mouse to the top edge.

but when i use the right-click menu "maximize all" on a firefox group,
all windows are maximized up to where the panel would be.

i cannot set allow other windows to cover the panel because that would
turn off autohiding.

i use kicker because i have found no other panel that does what i
want.  i currently use sawfish for my window manager because i want
something simpler than kde.  i am filing here rather than sawfish
because the maximize action is initiated from the panel.  i do not
know whether the code that determines the geometry is supposed to be
in kicker, sawfish, or firefox.  i googled around to find out to no
avail.  but clearly it thinks there's a non-autohidden panel there.

thanks.
