Description Bernd Steinhauser 2008-01-30 20:22:32 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I'm not sure if this problem was always there (but I think so).

I have got a vertical xinerama layout with two different screens.
On each of these screens I have a panel and added menus etc. to them. Now when I open any plasmoid on the smaller screen, that has a menu, like kickoff, the menu opens at the same position on the other screen.
I'll attach a screenshot that shows the problem.

At least these three Plasmoids show this problem:
- Device notifier
- Simple/Classic launcher
- Kickoff

I marked the area (1280x800) the smaller screen would cover on the bigger screen with a box.
The applets on the bigger screen work as expected.
It doesn't matter if an applet is part of the panel or if it is a "floating" widget.

I didn't yet test if it works when I switch to a horizontal layout, if it could be relevant I will test that.

The output of xrandr --verbose.

The setup is an ATI BigDesktop setup which is an ATI specific version of
mergedfb.

Tested with a horizontal layout, happens there, too.

Works with a recent SVN revision.
