Description Tako Schotanus 2008-03-24 16:21:53 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I have 2 monitors connected to my system of which the secondary has a lower vertical resolution than the primary.
When I start KDE4 I get a screen that seems to have two overlapping backgrounds and a single plasma taskbar in the middle of the screen (probably where the bottom of the secondary screen would be).

The first attachement shows the desktop after having performed one "zoom out". The left shows a workspace with two plasmoids... which are never visible because zoomed in it is the right workspace that is shown by default.

If I go to the display settigns and disable the secondary monitor the desktop looks like the image in the second attachment (also after one "zoom out"). There are still two workspaces but this time the taskbar is in the correct position and the left workspace is shown by default.

Comment 4 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-03-25 04:33:07 UTC

fixed partly upstream (Qt 4.4 will grok xrandr 1.2 better) and in trunk/ (we don't bother with advertised screen geometry for containment placement)

Ok, although this was from trunk the day I entered this bug report. I guess the upstream fixes haven't made it to qtcopy yet?
