Problem: maximizing windows moves them to bottom screen-edge (KDE4.x)

I just restarted my notebook (after ~10 days uptime) and now everytime I try to maximize windows, they are moved to the bottom of the screen and they get cut off.

Somehow it seems like my X,Y coordinates start at 800,0 (my resolution: 1920x1080).
I checked already my screen-settings and tried to reset them, but it didn't work.

Another thing: I usually use tilda as my on-screen terminal, which is usually located at the top left edge. now when I start it, it pops up on the bottom left, even tho in the settings it is on 0:0 position.

Anyone here who knows what it can be and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

I found the problem - it was my conky setup.
After killing the process and restarting it again, all was fine again..
[edit]: correction - restarting conky is not fixing my problem

but I'm not sure what part of my config is causing this problem - anyone here who sees the problem?

Re: Problem: maximizing windows moves them to bottom screen-edge (KDE4.x)
