kde4: krandrtray detects what isn't there

[Guido Pinkernell]

Hi all,

this is on KDE 4.2.1, openSUSE 11.1 with Xorg 7.4

With KDE krandrtray starts automatically and enlarges the desktop size to its 
virtual size, as set in Xorg.conf [1]. This happens also, when there is no 
external monitor attached.

This results in various windows, esp. the shutdown or logout GUI, being opened 
in the non visible part of the desktop.

I have tried a few things to solve this problem. E.g. disable krandrtray on 
startup and open it only when I need it. But once it has been opened it can't 
be disabled again without shutting down and restart KDE first (known bug). 

So does anyone know of a solution or a workaround? Is there a switch that 
disables hardware autodetection on krandrtray startup, which then could be 
started later?

Thanks!

Guido
