Description Richard Brinkman 2008-10-02 13:04:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I've attached a secondary monitor to my laptop. The secondary monitor (1280x1024) is bigger that the screen of my laptop (1280x600). I use "xrandr --output LVDS --right-of VGA" to have a spanning desktop.

The taskbar appears randomly (why?) on one of the two monitors. When it appears on the biggest screen then maximizing windows work as expected (on both monitors). However, if the task bar appears on the smallest screen and I want to maximize a window on the other monitor, then the "maximized" window does not use all the space. It gets same height as if it has appeared on the smallest monitor.

Maximization issue is a duplicate. Taskbar randomly changing screens is a separate bug, report it to Plasma.
