Resizing windows with alt+right click

Hi there,

I am playing with kde as a desktop on OpenBSD, and one of the features I use a lot is alt+right click to resize windows.

Whilst this works in KDE 3.5, it does this thing where it constrains one of the window dimensions according to the delta of your initial mouse movement. I find this annoying.

I would recommend an option to turn this on/off as the user prefers.

What do you think?

Thanks

RE: Resizing windows with alt+right click

I like it, Vext, though I didn't know about it before reading your post. I'm using Debian Etch with KDE 3.5.5.

After playing with it, I found resizing a window isn't limited to one direction. The constraints are determined by where the cursor is placed in the window when I right-click. Much like a rectangle's eight points of adjustment in a drawing program.

Thanks for the tip.
