Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.3.5 sparc solaris 2.8 OS: Solaris I am running KDE on Solaris with two displays without xinerama support. When I turn off the mouseover effect in the configuration for the second kicker panel (display=:0.1), no effect takes place. It does work when I configure the first screen (display=:0.0) panel, though.
this is because on dual head, the panels must run in separate processes and therefore have separate config files. you need to configure the two screens separately. i suppose something we could do someday is separate out the look and feel options into a single config file ... i'm personally not very motivated to do much work on dual head as i don't use it and find it to be a horrible hack. xinerama gives good results and is much more sane to program for. clean patches welcome.
I did configure the two screens separately. I would gladly run Xinerama, but unfortunately Sun's brain-damanged X server only supports it if both display adapters are identical, and in our case they are not. I would run Xorg's X server in an instant if it would run on Solaris on Sparc. -Aaron
you should have two kickerrc files in `kde-config --localprefix`/share/config. one will be named just "kickerrc" and the other something like "kickerrc-screen-1" .. please attach the latter to this bug report.

neither of these configurations have ShowMouseOverEffects=false in the [buttons] group. this would be why you're getting the mouse overs, obviously. does the option show as being unchecked in the config dialog (which would imply ShowMouseOverEffects=false)? when you configure it from screen 0 does ShowMouseOverEffects=false appear in both configs?
It shows that it is disabled on both displays in kconfig. Note that I have not shut down or restarted KDE, though I would think it would save the data immediately. On both displays, Enable icon mouseover effects is disabled and Show tooltips is enabled in the configuration GUI, however the behavior still occurs in the right display (display 1) while the correct behavior occurs in display 0.
