That's probably the opposite of what you want to do.

ka-Map draws the pixels out to the metabuffer. This means that in those
80 pixels outside your map view, a symbol can be partially drawn. Once
it is drawn, kamap chops the metabuffer off: this is to avoid issues
like:

So, in those 80pixels, Mapserver is drawing a symbol, and ka-map is then
chopping it.

If you shrink your metaBuffer, this will help you rather than hurt you,
I think. I'm sure paul can offer more insight, but I'm not aware of a
complete solution.
