Description wes 2011-10-16 17:45:45 UTC 
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

In kde rc files and profiles files (e.g. konqueror's webbrowsing profile) window sizes are stored like this:

Height 1024=850
Height 1050=920
Width 1280=1000
Width 1680=979

But when I restart an application, the restored window is *always* the size stored for my left monitor (i.e. 1024x1050).



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
just adjust window size on right monitor, close app, reopen and it restores to size stored for *left* monitor

Actual Results:  
as above, apps open in right monitor with window size that was stored for the right monitor

Expected Results:  
I expect/want the window size to be remembered for each monitor and restored to each monitor appropriately (this is the way KDE worked before 4.7 as far as I can tell)

under "actual results" sorry for the typo - the second "right" should of course be "left"

According to bug 286146.

I've tested it with kwrite and behavior the same as with other kde applications.

Oh hey, I just fixed this recently! The fix is in Frameworks 5.74.
