I have the following error<br>
<br>
plasma-desktop-screen- (27164): KUniqueApplication: Can't setup D-Bus service.<br>
plasma-desktop-screen- (27165): KUniqueApplication: Can't setup D-Bus service.<br>

plasma-desktop-screen-(27171): KUniqueApplication: Can't setup D-Bus service.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>That's because the service is already taken because you are trying to run 2 plasma-desktop processes. You can't do that, there should only be one process for the n number of screens that you have. I use multiscreen for 2 monitors, (nvidia's TwinView) to have 2 different desktops, with one X process, and one plasma process. <br>
<br>That's the way that it should be done. Multihead isn't really supported or maintained for kde and it really shouldn't be used.<br><br>And personally, I don't see the point of running a multihead configuration just to achieve multiscreen. You lose any benefits that you would have had without it, and what do you gain? Xinerama should be able to support everything you need..<br clear="all">
