Description Rémi Piau 2025-07-11 09:41:14 UTC 
SUMMARY
It would be nice to add a systemtray icon that lists currently running virtual-monitors and allow one to disable (e.g. kill) any of them separately.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Launch several virtual screens:
$ for I in $(seq 5902 5915);do krfb-virtualmonitor --name T$I --resolution 1920x1080 --scale 1 --password "1234" --port $I & done
2. Receive sound notification for new monitor
3. No indicator or ways to end virtual monitor (Systemsettings>display can only be used to control layout).

PS To kill virtual monitors:
$ ps -aux | grep krfb | sed 's/ +/ /' | cut -d " " -f 6 | xargs kill

Would also be useful when using kdeconnect virtual display.
