Description Artem Ananiev 2005-12-29 14:38:20 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0KDE 1.2)
Installed from:    Slackware PackagesSlackware Packages
OS:                Linux

I have a multiscreen system, Xinerama extension is turned on. In my application I embed an applet into KDE panel (like tray icons in Windows systems) and need to track what screen the applet is currently on. I expect KDE panel to send my applet a notification (XConfigureNotify) when the panel itself is dragged by user to another screen or another edge of the screen, but it doesn't.

And why exactly do you expect KDE panel to send it? There's nothing that says it has to do so, and I don't think it makes sense to add it just for your very specific case.

You're right, I haven't seen any notice that XConfigureEvent must be sent in such cases as dragging a panel to another screen. From the other side, how can I find what screen my applet is currently on? Are there any other notifications sent by KDE panel?
