This was the case I had up until today. Aaron's disabling of the caching seems 
to have speeded things up for me. I'll do some investigations to see how it 
fairs with an svg background rather than a bitmap.

I have tried todays build out on my desktop which uses the nvidia binary 
driver in a "twinview" setup, and also with my laptop at work which uses the 
binary ati drivers and there "big desktop" mode. Both of these seem much more 
responsive today.

I'm interested in helping out with plasma as much as I can in my spare time 
(as usual quite limited), and I have a few systems that I can lay my hands on 
for testing with and without multi-head setups. I'll take some time this 
weekend to become familiar with the plasma codebase and then start looking at 
the background painting/caching.

The attachment shows how the toolbox looks for me today. The buttons are all 
within the bounds of the screen.

Very nice work so far so don't lose heart. :-)

Kind regards,

Sean
