Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-01-05 00:42:53 UTC
Version:           SVN (using KDE 4.5.90) 
OS:                Linux

I have a two monitor configuration and as I already pointed out in Bug 262137 it is a bit weird. In the present Window staple, beside the fact that I also cannot find a pattern in the choosing of the Desktop shown. When I tested it, it chose the desktop of the second screen and when choosing it, the windows began to re-position themselves to their original position and just before the desktop was completely restored it hang for many seconds, then the desktop was finally moved and it still hang and then it either crashed (without Konqui evolved, thus no backtrace!) or plasma effects being suspended.
I tried it trice and always got the same result. Pressing and holding Alt-Tab to quickly navigate to the Desktop and then leave the keys and have it hang.

Reproducible: Always

Also here I have to ask what is the "Present Windows staple" effect? Feel free to post the German name.

SVN commit 1214264 by graesslin:

Include the desktop window from active screen in alt+tab.

For the tabbox mode to include the desktop window a random desktop
window was picked in a multi screen setup. Now the desktop window
of the current active screen is picked.

I assume it is a duplicate of bug 261323. If not fixed in 4.6.3 please reopen.
