Description NuageBleu 2014-05-20 07:26:12 UTC

When I add a new screen, all windows are moved to the new screen.
This was done with:
 -Display configuration version : 4.12.4
- VGA trough HDMI display
- The default screen is not changed (One may expect the opposite in such a case)

It's a problem as sometimes the other display is not easy to access (ie. projector) or may be switched off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any windows
2. Plug a new screen
3. Start Display Configuration (should start automatically)
4. Apply
Actual Results:  
All the windows are going to the new screen.

Expected Results:  
All the windows stays on the first and main screen.

KScreen does not handle window management, reassinging.

FYI, KWin doesn't move windows - the problem is (will most likely be) that the new screen is added to the top/left of the old one.
