Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I am using KDE 4.1. on Debian experimental. My graphics card uses the intel driver. My laptop comes with a 1280x800 display. When I connect an external 1280x1024 display and enable it with something like "xrandr --auto" the panel will not be properly repositioned to the bottom. I will attach a screenshot. I have seen bug 162856. However this here is not about resizing. Also I would like to add that this did start to happen only in beta 2. Before, the panel was positioned correcly.

it looks like it is getting the internal screen geometry for QRect screenGeom = QApplication::desktop()->screenGeometry(screen); can you provide the output of `xrandr` when in this configuration, along with your plasma-appletsrc and plasmarc files? thanks...

I am having a very similar problem with KDE 4.1.1. I attach a screenshot Setup: - KDE 4.1.1 (kubuntu 8.04 packages) - intel xorg driver - intel GM965/GL960 - Screen 1: VGA 1280x1024 - Screen 2 : LVDS 1280x800 I also tried several KDE 4.0 version when they were released and all had similar problems with my dual head setup. Moving a screen next to another with xrandr or kdrandrtray makes KDE completely unusable. The only solution is to disable one of the screens in xorg.conf. xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 2560 x 1024 VGA connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 270mm 1280x1024 75.0 + 59.9* 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 286mm x 179mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 60.0 60.0* 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 TMDS-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) cat .kde4/share/config/plasmarc [ViewIds] 1=1 2=2 4=3 cat .kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc [Containments][1] formfactor=0 geometry=0,0,1280,1024 immutability=1 location=0 plugin=desktop screen=0 wallpaper=/usr/lib/kde4/share/wallpapers/Blue_Curl/contents/images/1280x1024.jpg zvalue=0 [Containments][2] formfactor=0 geometry=1286,0,1280,800 immutability=1 location=0 plugin=desktop screen=1 wallpaper=/usr/lib/kde4/share/wallpapers/Blue_Curl/contents/images/1280x800.jpg zvalue=0 [Containments][2][Applets][3] formfactor=0 geometry=6,6,600,400 immutability=1 location=0 plugin=folderview screen=-1 zvalue=4 [Containments][2][Applets][3][Configuration] url=desktop:/ [Containments][4] formfactor=2 geometry=0,-44,1280,38 immutability=1 location=4 plugin=panel screen=1 zvalue=150 [Containments][4][Applets][10] geometry=1151,3,35,35 immutability=1 plugin=battery zvalue=0 [Containments][4][Applets][11] geometry=1190,3,70,35 immutability=1 plugin=digital-clock zvalue=0 [Containments][4][Applets][5] geometry=0,3,35,35 immutability=1 plugin=launcher zvalue=0 [Containments][4][Applets][5][Shortcuts] global=Alt+F1 [Containments][4][Applets][6] geometry=39,3,35,35 immutability=1 plugin=notifier zvalue=0 [Containments][4][Applets][7] geometry=78,3,22,35 immutability=1 plugin=pager zvalue=0 [Containments][4][Applets][8] geometry=104,3,936,35 immutability=1 plugin=tasks zvalue=0 [Containments][4][Applets][9] geometry=1044,3,103,35 immutability=1 plugin=systemtray zvalue=0 [Containments][4][Configuration] maximumSize=1280,38 minimumSize=1280,38 [General] immutability=1
Created attachment 27253 [details] example of bug
this is what Qt reports: >>> app.desktop().screenGeometry(0) PyQt4.QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 1280, 1024) >>> app.desktop().screenGeometry(1) PyQt4.QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 1280, 800) the occurs always (no monitor hotplug magic required).
I did some more testing and enabled debugging on plasma (see log below). 2 things I noticed: * plasma creates 2 views (I doubt this is necessary if the 2 screens are on the same position (xrandr --output VGA --same-as LVDS)) * If there are 2 screens on the same position, plasma should resize to the largest screen size (this is the behavior KDE 3.x). Perhaps this is complete nonsense.

Works fine for me with KDE 4.1.2 on Ubuntu Intrepid, EEEPC 901.
can you please check again with a more recent trunk (or soon beta1)? the inclusion of kephal should have made things work more nicely toghether. =)
no reply in months, assuming kephal fixed it. please reopen if this is not the case.
