There is also an issue with plasma were activities that end up on a
monitor of the wrong size do not properly re-scale the widgets they
contain, which can result in widgets overlapping, having unpredictable
locations, extending off the screen, or having large blank areas.
Fixing this would probably be a worthwhile task.
