Description Gael Beaudoin 2010-11-26 11:27:31 UTC

OS:                Linux

See the screen shot. It's ok with one screen, kickoff is at the perfect place. But not with a dual screen setup.

I'll attach my desktop config file. BTW, this was already the case with SC 4.5 at least.

Reproducible: Always

The two screen resolutions are : 1280x1024 on the left and 1920x1080 on the right.

this is because the two monitors have a different size, known problem, not easy solution, but i'm still hoping

It's not very annoying, just not pixel perfect :p
Thank you for the answer!
Comment 7 Aaron J. Seigo 2010-12-17 22:06:29 UTC
what kind of dual screen configuration do you have? xrandr? twinview? xinerama? multi-head (multiple x servers)?

SVN commit 1207416 by mart:

the dialog private is in its seprarate file ecause it gets accessed by popupapplet to set an applet pointer

in this way we can use the corona to actually find out the real desktop geometry, that doesn't fail for extended monitors like QDesktopWidget does.

I guess it's twinview, using NVIDIA proprietary drivers. I'll test with the next realease (RC1?) and report here. Thanks for the fix!
