You can't move the windows because the windows are created attached to
a particular screen (I believe they also have a per-protocol-screen
namespace). So this is actually an X11 limitation, not a WM one.

> As far as plasma is concerned: I have no idea why it doesn't automatically start up on the second screen. I suspect that the code that does this in kde3 is simply not there yet in plasma. Thats why this bugreport is valid and still open ;)


Heh :o)

Yeah, it could probably be done fairly easily. I just had high hopes
that as there "can be only one" etc we'd see plasma manage both
screens. I notice kwin in kde3 is using two processes; surprised, at
that's not in any way required by X.

Anyway, thanks for taking an interest. This is a bit of a show-stopper
for me to upgrade to kde4 at work (as is what appear to be some X
server limitations, so not just kde4 :o)) so I'm pleased to see some
kind of response on this one.
