Description Carl 2011-02-28 21:46:30 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

When I disable an external monitor on the laptop, windows that are still present on the secondary screen remain out of sight. They are shown in the taskbar, but you cannot access them, other than enabling full screen. I would like for all windows to be brought back to the remaining monitor when disabling an external monitor and / or disconnecting it

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Hook up second display to a laptop and enable it. Do not clone, but set it e.g. right of the mian display. Open windows on the second display. Now disable the second display. Windows remain placed outside of the boundaries of the main display and cannot be accessed

Actual Results:  
Windows are invisible.

Expected Results:  
I would like all windows to be brought to the remaining active display.
