           Summary: Screen scaling problems and no window decorations
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: greve fsfe org


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

To a laptop (IBM Thinkpad X61s) with 1024x768 LCD resolution I have connected a screen with 1920x1200 resolution via VGA. This works fine with KDE 3.5.

When trying the Debian experimental packages of 4.1-beta (4.0.80), the screen is recognised (and the whole area filled with background pattern) but KDE 4.1 assumes a 1024x768 desktop, reducing the background picture and panels to that size. The result is a *very* odd looking screen, for which I'll gladly provide a screenshot.

In the control center I could not find a way to actually set the resolution for the desktop (although I found the menu that shows me that both screens were correctly identified).

Also the windows appear to be missing any decoration, looks like the window manager is not running.

If there is any additional information I can provide, please let me know.
