The behaviour has changed a little with the new API (mostly because the way Outputs are updated have changed). Now Configuration::primaryOutput is changed after all Outputs have been updated. That's why this patch also switches from listening to Output::isPrimaryChanged to Configuration::primaryOutputChanged. The problem with reacting to Output::isPrimaryChanged is, that you will get the signal always twice: once for the output that is set to be primary, and once for the output where primary flag is unset. If the order is first unset, then set, then everything is OK, but if the order happens to be that first you get signal from the output that was set a primary and then from the one that was unset from primary, stuff gets broken and you start hitting various asserts in the codepath. By reacting to Config::primaryOutputChanged, you are sure that all the changes have already been applied (including primary), and that calling Config::primaryOutput gives you what you expect. - Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
