           Summary: doesn't add containment for added second monitor
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: apaku gmx de


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I've just tried to use xrandr to activate my second head (using xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050_85.00 --right-of LVDS) and it worked (albeit kwin crashing and restarting itself, not a big deal). However plasma didn't create a containment for the new second head and thus there's simply no plasma support for that head now (i.e. no wallpaper, no toolbox). This works just fine if the head is already configured when plasma starts (i.e. I setup the second head in my X11 configuration).

Looks like either plasma doesn't get notified about the head addition (IIRC I found with Aaron some problems in QDesktopWidget which didn't know about xrandr 1.2 or didn't use the X11 notification API from that properly) or it doesn't do the right thing when it gets the notification about the new head.
