Description thoth 2010-05-28 16:57:46 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

System Settings -> Desktop does not appear to offer a way to specify which display is on the "left" and which is on the "right," meaning that the user must physically move the displays to match KDE's assumptions rather than vice-versa.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect two monitors, boot.
2. Log into KDE.
3. Start System Settings -> Display.

Actual Results:  
System Settings -> Display offers a way to select which display is on the "left" and which display is on the "right," with settings remembered across logout/login cycle.

Expected Results:  
No such setting is found.

Partial workaround: Call xrandr before loading KDE. For example, using $HOME/.xession that contains:

xrandr --output LVDS --right-of DVI-0
startkde
