bug#12205: Problem in Emacs maximization in KDE

I'm Using KDE 4.8.5 in Fedora 17. My configuration removes the scroll
bar, tool bar and menu bar. When I try to maximize Emacs, it occupies
99% of the screen, but I still see the desktop in the remaining
edges. This bug doesn't seem to happen when the toolbar, scroll bar and
menu bar are displayed.

In GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10)

I believe that this is no longer an issue since Emacs 24.4.  Quoting NEWS:

*** Emacs can now change frame sizes in units of pixels, rather than
text rows or columns.  When maximizing a frame or making it fullscreen,
remaining extra pixels are no longer given to the minibuffer, the rightmost
fringe, or other unusable space, but are distributed among the text
areas of the frame's windows.  If the new option `frame-resize-pixelwise'
is non-nil, all frame size changes happen pixelwise and set the
corresponding size hints for the window manager.

Could you please verify that this fixes your problem by testing on a
more recent version of Emacs?  If I don't hear back from you in a
couple of weeks, I'll assume that this has been resolved and close
this bug.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

More information was requested, but none was given within 4 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug now.  If anyone can still reproduce the issue on
a recent version of Emacs, please reopen the bug report.
