Well, first of all I should say that this only happens on one of my three gentoo/KDE workstations, but it's _always_ reproducible there. I know there could be many WORKSFORME's but please, if anyone has or had such a problem or knows how to solve it, help. The problem is - as shown on the image - that Eterm determines fillscreen size incorrectly. After clicking the maximize icon, there is a space between the bottom border of eterm and the K taskbar. I don't know if this happens in other desktop enviroments, cause I don't use them. The one I use is KDE 3.2.3. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run KDE 2. Run Eterm 3. Click the maximize icon Actual Results: There is some space left between the K taskbar and maximized eterm window. Expected Results: There should be no space between the K taskbar and maximized eterm window.

Eterm is not the window manager ... the window manager handles those kind of details you saw you use KDE, so it's a KDE bug ;)
the window manager is not always able to maximize a window (see for instance http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67577) but since it happens on just one box it seems very strange... have you tried moving away your ~/.kde3.2 and running a kde session with just a default configuration?
Well, the problem is this really occurs on one workstation! And yes, even with the default settings of KDE. :( Koxta
don't know what we can do for you - perhaps you can ask the folks at bugs.kde.org
