           Summary: panel placed outside viewable screen in wide resolution
                    (1920x1200)
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kaarethor gmail com


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

Using a monitor with a 1920x1200 resolution somehow makes the plasma panel place itself outside the viewable screen (below 1200).  No dualhead is involved in my case, but this may be related to the dualhead bugs.

I see a horizontal delimiter line in the expected position, which I can click to get the panel settings, and below it an empty space set aside for the panel itself.  If I move the delimiter line as low as possible, I get to see a little bit of the panel, as it then moves upwards a few pixels all by itself.  Moving the delimiter line lower, however, makes plasma crash the next time e.g. a program is opened or closed (I've probably moved the panel outside its scope).

Alternatively, I can lower the resolution to see more of the panel.

This happens with Debian's experimental packages, versioned 4.0.74.
