           Summary: When using multiple monitors plasma seems to draw
                    several workspaces on top of eachother
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: quintesse palacio-cristal com


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I have 2 monitors connected to my system of which the secondary has a lower vertical resolution than the primary.
When I start KDE4 I get a screen that seems to have two overlapping backgrounds and a single plasma taskbar in the middle of the screen (probably where the bottom of the secondary screen would be).

The first attachement shows the desktop after having performed one "zoom out". The left shows a workspace with two plasmoids... which are never visible because zoomed in it is the right workspace that is shown by default.

If I go to the display settigns and disable the secondary monitor the desktop looks like the image in the second attachment (also after one "zoom out"). There are still two workspaces but this time the taskbar is in the correct position and the left workspace is shown by default.
