Description Toshiro 2006-08-05 22:15:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I have a dual-head system (no xinerama, the monitors are so different that it's impossible to share a decent dpi size that fits well in both).

Obviously I have to kicker instances; the problem is that changing the configuration in the second kicker instance don't take effect until logged off/on.

If you don't have access to a dual-head system, I'd be willing to do any tests you may need to help you fix this. I'm running Debian sid and I update almost daily, so my kde is pretty updated.

Regards,

SVN commit 574321 by kling:

Made DCOP notifications to kicker instances on non-primary dual-head screens work.

In english: changing kicker settings on the non-primary screen will no longer
require a restart to take effect.
