            Bug ID: 333216
           Summary: Ability to mirror displays isn't obvious.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.11.5
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_randr
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: rubin at starset.net
                CC: hbock at providence.edu

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start KDE
2. Plug in a second display to mirror your current display to
3. Open System Settings
4. Select Display and Monitor
5. Objerve

Expected result:
Some sort of UI to mirror the current display to the second display.

Actual reult:
No helpful UI to mirror the displays.

Notes:
It took an email to debian-kde at lists.debian.org to be informed that the way to
mirror a display is by overlaying the second display on the first one and it
just magically works. When you actually do that there's no UI letting you know
mirroring is what's happening. This doesn't seem all that intutive to me. At
the very least there should be some line of text at the bottom of the window
stating to overlay the displays in order to activate mirroring, or simply a
check box to turn it on.
