    kde desktop screwed up.

    hi i have been running kubuntu 14.04 for a year or two now. No problem what so ever. Last night i was drunk and when i was typing in an email in my browser i might have accidently hit a key combination which messed up my dekstop. Everything seems 10% (or so) larger now. Not only my brower ( i know how to scale that ) but everything. So my desktop image doesnt fit anymore and i have to scroll to see the whole picture. Also all fonts look really bad. I have tried rebooting but no effect. I can see the effect happening when i login into kde. And the 5 icons appear on after the other. After the first it looks good, but then suddenly everything gets bigger and uglier. Anybody any idea to fix this?

    I tried to login using the guest account and then everything is fine.

            The kwin zoom is a desktop effect and can be configured in
            system settings -> desktop behavior -> desktop effects

              Works nice, too! That's how some screen captured videos expand sections of the screen for a better view.

              Holding the Meta+- keys will zoom back out until the desktop just fits the screen.
