Hi there,
I've just updated KDE to 4.6.2 on Gentoo Linux and to my surprise Plasma
now works on my second screen (screen in the X sense, not in the physical
monitor sense). Previously the only way to get am accelerated triple head
setup was to run e16 on the 2nd screen.
This means I now have two instances of KDE running, with 2 instances of
the plasma desktop. All good so far. When I add a panel to the second plasma
instahnce and in that panel I add the "Quick Launch" widget. To that I add
an icon for Konsole. When clicking on that icon it always starts Konsole up
on screen 0, not screen 1.
Setting the icon command to be:
DISPLAY=":0.1" konsole
Doesn't work - it still starts it up on the wrong screen. Oddly, when I
start it up from the K menu on the second screen, it starts in the right
place.
How do I convince quicklaunch to honour the DISPLAY setting for the current
screen?
Thanks.
