Description Miikka Salminen 2008-11-24 21:01:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have to display units. The main display is 1680x1050 and the display on the left is 1280x1024.

When I maximize a window on the left (smaller) display, about ten pixels of emptiness showing the background are left on the bottom of the screen. I have no taskbars or any other widgets on the left side display.

Does it occur after running "kquitapp plasma" in a terminal?
Does it occur on a new user that hasn't changed any settings?

Comment 2 Miikka Salminen 2008-11-25 11:05:25 UTC

Seems it doesn't occur after "kquitapp plasma". When plasma is running, however, the behaviour returns.

Apparently it also occurs on new users.

Comment 3 Miikka Salminen 2008-11-25 11:47:13 UTC

Looks like the amount of empty pixels depends on the height of my taskbar, which is on the other display.

Comment 4 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-11-25 15:39:13 UTC

what does this have to do with plasma, other than it goes away when plasma isn't reserving struts? this is a kwin problem, where it doesn't respect struts per-screen but as one combined area, is it not?

if plasma is able to fix this, please tell me how and i'll do it. but i understood that even if we only reserve a strut that spans a given screen, kwin will still reserve that space on other screens as well. no?
