Fixed a Linux-only bug where it was difficult and sometimes impossible to resize Houdini windows in a KDE desktop.

Fixed a bug where the Houdini user interface appeared mangled in some Linux KDE desktop environments.

It is now possible to maximize secondary window dialogs in KDE.

On Linux, the Houdini installer now installs a "Side Effects Software -> Houdini X.X.XXX" submenu under the Applications menu. This has been tested on GNOME and KDE, but will also work for any desktop which implements menus according to the XDG menu specification.

Fixed a bug with odd layouts occurring when working with a maximized Houdini window on KDE, Metacity and WinXP.

Added 2 new startup options to Houdini and Hescape, -span and -screen. -span will cause Houdini to start up spanning all monitors on a multi monitor setup. -screen <i> allows you to specify a specific monitor to display Houdini on. Note that -span does not work on current Linux KDE or Metacity window managers, as they restrict the size of applications to one screen (though you can still drag the window larger manually). -span works on Windows and Linux Sawfish window managers without issue.

Houdini now truly maximizes its window, instead of just setting its size to be the size of the screen. This currently doesn't work in KDE or Windows.

Houdini now displays a Maximize button when you run it under KDE.

Problems with not being able to resize Houdini horizontally is fixed for Redhat 8 and KDE desktops.
