  31 some windows.</para>

  33 <note>
  34 <para>Please note that this configuration will not take effect if you
  35 do not use &kwin; as your window manager. If you do use a different
  36 window manager, please refer to its documentation for how to customize
  37 window behavior.</para>

  40 <para>Many of the settings you can configure here are those you can
  41 configure on a global basis in the <guilabel>Window Behavior</guilabel>
  42 &systemsettings; module, however some of them are even more detailed.</para>
  43
  44 <para>They encompass geometry, placement, whether a window should be
  45 kept above or below others, focus stealing prevention, and translucency
  46 settings.</para>
  47
  48 <para>You can access this module in two ways: from the titlebar of the
  49 application you wish to configure, or from the &systemsettings;.  If you
  50 start it from within &systemsettings; you can use the
  51 <guibutton>New...</guibutton> to create a window profile, and the
  52 <guibutton>Detect Window Properties</guibutton> button on the resulting dialog to
  53 partially fill in the required information for the application
  54 you wish to configure.</para>
  55
  56 <para>You can also at any time <guibutton>Modify...</guibutton> or
  57 <guibutton>Delete</guibutton> any stored settings profile, and
  58 reorder the list.  Reordering the list using the <guibutton>Move Up</guibutton>
  59 and <guibutton>Move Down</guibutton> buttons is a convenience to help you sort
  60 the profiles, and has no effect on how they are applied.</para>
