Have been running the autostart script with "Pre-KDE startup" and with KScreen2
turned off since my previous comment and have seen no problems with screen
configuration.

Created attachment 96756
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=96756=edit
1st konsole bad (contains background image), subsequent konsoles OK

Just noticed this happening recently. Only on secondary monitor, 1st konsole
instance is bad and then subsequent konsole instances are OK. But no problems
with konsole if 1st instance appears on the "primary" monitor (monitor
containing the panel at the bottom).
Just an additional confirmation of the bug.

Well, guess I spoke too soon. Today the problem happened again on KDE startup.
Will try it set to run script on "Pre-KDE startup" for a while and see if that
makes a difference.

Thanks. Putting this in autostart does seem to "fix" the problem. After
restarting several times over a few days I haven't had a problem with both
monitors coming up correctly.

I see similar problems (but not exactly the same as the others) with my set-up:
Fedora 22, Intel graphics on motherboard, primary monitor using DVI and
secondary monitor using VGA.

Have set a different "wallpaper" graphic for each monitor.

Works fine after initial set-up using System Settings/Display Configuration.
However almost always after reboot and sometimes after just logout and back in,
the wallpaper for the secondary monitor covers the primary monitor's wallpaper
and the background for the secondary monitor is black (blank). However, except
for no response to right-click on desktop on the secondary monitor, the
secondary monitor is still working and showing programs. Also, on primary
monitor, widgets there are covered by the secondary monitor's wallpaper and
can't be accessed, but right click still works on primary.

Usually a quick logout and back in fixes the problem, but not always. The most
reliable solution is run the Display Configuration again and click the box to
disable the secondary monitor and then apply. Then re-enable it and apply
again. This always has fixed it. This seems to kill and restart plasmashell
since a notification box pops up which I just dismiss but wallpapers are in the
proper place and both monitors function correctly again after that.

I tried making the VGA monitor primary and also set the frequencies in Advanced
Setting to explicit values instead of auto but these didn't make a difference.
Didn't try tweaking any config files.
