           Summary: Plasma workspace broken after reboot with resolution
                    change
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: abeeson csu edu au


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Using a Dell laptop, after putting the laptop on the dock, and using the native resolution of another monitor (1280X1024), the plasma workspace (widgets and background) does not size back up to 1680X1050 for the native resolution of the monitor.

The workspace covers 1280 of the screen, and the last 400 pixels are then duplicated back on top of the left side of the workspace.

This also results in multiple widget control things (sorry i dont know the real name) in the top right corner of both desktops.

The panel (on the bottom like default) is the correct size, and when opening the dashboard, the widgets that are active then move to the correct location, but the background and layers stay where they are, and then closing the dashboard puts them back to where they were (which is the right place if that section of the desktop was where it should be, but it isnt)

I will try to attach a screenshot.

Also if i then manually resize the resolution to 1280X1024 (not native) the workspace is then correct again.

It has no issue when shrinking the resolution, it just adjusts as it should, but then trying to up it again fails with this problem.

This does not seem to be an xorg issue as the panel etc are perfect.

I'm currently running Kubuntu 8.04, but i also encountered this problem with Fedora 9 Beta.

I'm running Compiz on this machine, but was not running any effects at all on the FC9 beta install, and had the same problem.

Thanks guys, P.S. this is my first bug report so excuse me if i forget something / badly word something!
