Description Jeremy 2005-12-07 05:34:12 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I use two screens with an ATI video card, using xinerama.
There is now a "Show windows from all screens" checkbox in the taskbar module in the control panel, but checking it results in windows from only one screen being in each screen's taskbar.  Unchecking it results in windows from all screens being shown on each taskbar.
In other words, the result when the box is checked or unchecked is the opposite from what would be expected.

Exactly the same behaviour here. I'm using Gentoo Linux with KDE 3.5.0 from Portage.

For me it doesn't seem to change ANYTHING..  I have Firefox on monitor 2 and this option on or off, Firefox still shows up in the taskbar on monitor 1.

Whoops, I take it back.  It does work as they're saying, backwards.  Had to re-open the programs on screen 2, then they only showed on monitor 2's taskbar.

So it's definately backwards.

Kicker is no more mantained and developed. All kcontrol related bugs to the old KDE 3 panel has been closed. Bugs and valid wishes applicable to KDE 4 has been added to a list.

Regards.
