Bug Description

Binary package hint: kopete

The name of menus are translations from Galician.

I go to my Kopete contact list, I right click on a contact from the list, choose "properties" (Shift+'), and on the first window menu, I select to "change" the kmail contact equivalent to the one I've chosen. Then, since I have a long Kmail contact list, and near all my contacts has a photo (which means more space), the list is vertically bigger than my desktop.

So, I can't se the last ones contacts, and I can't click on the "new contact option".

I was able to do it by using the Vista-like window selector, with Alt+tab and the suitable effect, to discover I could use Alt+Y to create new contacts there, so I didn't have to create the contact at Kontact. But it's really annoying.

I don't attach screenshots because they have personal information (name, photo and email) form other people, but if it's necesary, I can edit the images first and load them.

BTW, if you keep the Alt key pressed, you should be able to move the window without touching the window decoration. Alt invokes KWin's move feature.

OH! Thanks! I didn't known about Alt to move windows. I'm sure it will be usefull, not just for this problem.
