windows pop to full screen when bumped into top edge

i recently bought a pre-Win7 loaded netbook, and soon discovered anytime
i moved a window and even accidently bumped the top edge of the screen
the window would instantly pop to full screen side to side and top to
bottom…

i figured it was just another Redmond ‘innovation’ and just got in the
habit of not bumping the top…

but, now on KDE i see exactly the same behavior…is this something new
in 4.6 or, is it just on this machine (maybe a BIOS intercept) or what
the heck is it??

i have looked for and not found a way to turn off this abomination in
user interface ‘innovation’ in either openSUSE 11.4 or Lose7…

ideas/hints? please…(i’m kinda tired of having to click it down from
full screen–this is a MULTI-threaded system and i do not use just one
app at a time…)

thank you!! i had looked at that page earlier, but what i was looking
for wasn’t in big, flashing red fonts with a pop up saying: THIS IS IT!
with an arrow pointing to where to click…

duh!
