One of many multimonitor headaches. I'm rolling on Plasma 5.7 final, Qt5.7, KF5 2.23. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. hot plug VGA screen 3. reboot Actual Results: panel only on Primary monitor Expected Results: Panel in every screen Kscreen confs and kded5 logs attached

Created attachment 99883 [details] kscreen after reboot
Created attachment 99884 [details] kded log
External VGA screen not set to 1440*900 on hotplug. Plasma Panel on second screen too but all application are correctly opened on primary monitor.
Thanks for the report! This looks like a problem with plasmashell, not with kscreen, if I understand correctly (seems about placement of the desktop / panels, not about screen setup and restore at a lower level. Could you attach a screenshot of your whole desktop (both screens) when it works and when it doesn't, for comparison?
Created attachment 99913 [details] attachment-5626-0.html After tweaking the desktop and removing extra Panel before, I removed the plasmarc and kscreen configs, but I can't reproduce it. Panel was present only in primary (laptop). But all windows opened in wrong screen (external). And XF86Display button still not working. So I created a new user.. and I couldn't reproduce it! Also, windows opened correctly in the primary screen too! XF86Display button still not working. So, good but weird anyway. Asking for closing bug? Maybe the whole point of it is that at every Plasma feature release user should not only wipe its own caches/configs, but create a new user? Because I wiped caches and configs in my home after 5.7 release enough times: I can see that it wasn't enough. I've recorded the first new user login. Plasma got brutally stuck at Ksplash. At second login it behaved correctly, apart from the following issues: - window decorations: defaulted to Plastik! - no shadows: resarting kwin fixed them (switched to OGL 3.1, defaulted to 2.0) - login screen misaligned in primary (laptop) screen when in dual monitor - 2 "Desktop" activities present! So 5 bugs.

Thanks for the investigation. If you run into other problems, please file separate bugs. Otherwise it becomes impossible to track them.
new video weirdness from the tube (with the newely created user) https://youtu.be/n8APhqTcWLY - primary screen setting is broken - incorrect task manager menu popup placement https://youtu.be/giEwM9vyfNA - fuzzy screen management widget positioning - logout plasma screen always on external monitor, but with primary screen resolution https://goo.gl/photos/6t37qiuvK88YWx2u5 - login screen misaligned in primary screen https://goo.gl/photos/jgkpMKshsspSKvsA8 not related to window management: - when cursor is hovering widows decoration, it loses Breeze theme, fallback to X default. FIX: change cursor theme to Breeze cold, than back to Breeze - no transparency/blur in plasma Breeze theme FIX: unchek "improve background contrast" in Kwin effects the funny thing is that, after all that, I rebooted: result: primary screen with Panel on external monitor, laptop screen black https://goo.gl/photos/54kDGw4yJfNkn2nb8 Should I create a bug report for each one of these issues? 'Cuz, frankly, I don't know where to start.
As I mentioned in Comment#11, you're wasting everyone's time posting these videos in this bugreport. File separate bugs. What you're trying is unmanageable for us.
