Hi Aleix

I've read about the lack of sufficient test coverage for different
multiscreen configurations.  Problems with multiscreen is my biggest
pain point with KDE Plasma since I started using Plasma with the
upgrade to Fedora 22.

Right now I'm building Plasma directly from KDE sources because
it seems the delay bug I'm experiencing on the external monitor

(see my message
  Plasma 5.7.5 / 5.8.0 multiscreen: Menu and widgets react to mouse events
with seconds of delay if Primary Display = external monitor
to plasma-devel)

might get some attention if I can prove that it actually occurs in
upstream code ...

I'm willing to debug this problem, but I may need some guidance
for running Plasma using the libraries that I build/install
in my home directory.

So ... I'm all for contributions that help making Plasma
(and particularly multiscreen) more stable.

Just my 10 cents ...
