Description Martin Vogt 2008-10-21 11:12:16 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs


Hello,

this problem ist most likley the same as reported in:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167746

but was set to resolved. (I cannot confirm this, of course :)

I have here many thinclients with different panels
(1280x1024, 1600x1400,1920x1200,.. etc..)

When I login over X :1 -query <kdehost> to a 1280x1024
everything is fine.
I logout walk to a thinclient with 1920x1200 and the
kpanel does not resize to the maximum. I would expect such
a behaviour. 

Additionally I was not able to manually resize
it to the max but this is most likley because I still
dont know how to handle this new "plasma desktop" :)

I will attach the screenshot.

regards,

Martin

It starts with 1280x1024. And its not configured to have this fixed
size, but I dont see an "autoresize horizontically" button either.
So I think its a bug.

Here using:

Qt: 4.4.3
KDE: 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2))
kdelibs svn rev. 898705 / kdebase svn rev. 898705
on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.8
(i haven't tested this with this SVN rev, but I have experienced the bug with recents revisions)

I have experienced this bug , first logging in using a Xephyr session (1000x700px) the panel containment on the bottom set its width to 1000px. When loading KDE from a "real" X session (1280x800), the width panel it's still 1000px. May be this bug-report can be converted to a wish to have an "auto-expand" option for the panel containment in Plasma :)

Can you still reproduce on KDE 4.2.2 or current trunk?

I don't know if it is the right way to reproduce the bug, but changing the screen resolution with krandtray doesn't make my desktop suffer of this bug.
Comment 4 Oren Held 2009-05-04 11:46:00 UTC
This is probably related to #172173
Comment 5 Oren Held 2009-05-04 11:50:39 UTC
Sorry, it might not be related.

Anyway, I can confirm that when switching to a higher resolution, the panel doesn't stretch to the maximum width.
Comment 6 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-06-11 01:56:13 UTC
fix in 4.3.0, backported to 4.2 for packagers who wish to grab it.
