Description Andrew Reid 2008-11-28 18:51:06 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

In multi-monitor set-ups, particularly those using the NVidia "TwinView" scheme, the default behavior of kdesktop_lock when unlocking the screen is to place the unlocking widget in the center of the virtual screen.  For a two-monitor set-up, this places the widget across the "seam" or "gap" between the monitors.

I would like to be able to reposition this widget.  The KDM greeter widget has position settings in its config file which control its position.  At a minimum, I suggest that settings be added to the $KDEROOT/share/config/kdesktop_lockrc file to allow repositioning of the unlocking widget, either in percent-of-extent units or pixel units, similar to what is already possible with the KDM greeter.

Ideally, a unified scheme for "hinting" aspects of the virtualized-away underlying screen geometry to KDE would be nice.

Is this still reproducible with a recent version of Plasma 5, like 5.19 or later?
