[Panel-devel] Xinerama: plasma only works on 1rst screen, copies part on 2nd one

[Frederic Marmond]

It's the typical case for laptop that sometime use a secondary monitor.

more facts:
- if WORKS when removing the plasma-appletsrc
- it still work when restart kde
- unplug my secondary monitor, restart kde, it works as expected (I see the 
fullscreen desktop, the secondary container is ok and hidden, visible when 
zoom out)
- problem occurs when restarting kde with the secondary monitor replugged (see 
my previous post for problem details)


I see in list archives that many people have twinview, can you test this? 
(several tests with/without a secondary monitor plugged).
