Description Willi Richert 2006-02-13 14:36:20 UTC 
Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.5.1-1.5.fc3.kde, Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3

Having dual screens (laptop lcd + extern lcd) there are some annoying issues:

- konqueror on display 0.1 (virtual desktop 2): Ctrl-L (send link of webpage) opens a kmail window on display 0.0 virtual desktop 2.

- moving a window from 0.1 to 0.0 is impossible

- global shortcuts do not work if in the wrong display

Comment 1 Willi Richert 2006-02-14 15:18:34 UTC 
Apparently, global shortkeys do work, when processed in kded's kmilo (generic multimedia keys plugin).
Comment 2 Willi Richert 2006-02-14 16:20:59 UTC 
What's also annoying: klipper is usually started at display 0.0 and does not work for 0.1. Starting a second klipper at 0.1 does not work.
Comment 3 Lubos Lunak 2006-06-22 16:30:24 UTC 
> moving a window from 0.1 to 0.0 is impossible
That's a feature of dualhead. You probably just want to use Xinerama, which actually happens to be supported in KDE.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Bug was reported against KDE3 and pertains to dualhead (as distinct from multi-monitor), neither of which are officially supported anymore.
