           Summary: plasma does not resize/reposition the panel when
                    rotating screen with xrandr
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kovid theory caltech edu


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Gentoo 4.2.3 p1.0) 
OS:                Linux

When rotating the screen with xrandr 1.2 (xrandr -o left) the plasma panels geometry remains the same. So if you have a 1024x768 screen and you rotate it to 768x1024, the panel is at (0, 768-panel height) instead of (0, 1024-panel height) and has a width of 1024 instead of 768.

This makes KDE 4 unusable on a tablet PC. I've tried this with KDE SVN compiled in the last 24 hours. 

Is there a dbus call I can make to get plasma to re-initialize panel geometry?
