Hei, i would just like to add my support for that idea, because as of kde 4.4, my second screen has no more wallpaper (plasma) and if i set dragonplayer to fullscreen on it, it goes to the first screen (kwin?). this is sadly with the nvidia driver.
It would be great to have a more robust multiscreen support. Even if this is probably not the scope of the project, there are quite alot of plasma bugreports about multiscreen bugs, perhaps a few might get fixed during that project? greetings beat wolf Am Donnerstag 01 April 2010 16.35:59 schrieb Detlev Casanova: > Hello folks ! > > I'd like to work with you this summer (and even longer after that :-) ). > So, there's something in KDE that I find not really nice, It's the > multiscreen management. > For instance, I have an extra monitor for my laptop which I use every day > but I also unplug it every day.
