            Bug ID: 498762
           Summary: Incorrect named screens in window rules
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: reszt at outlook.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In System Settings > Windows Management > Window Rules, the "Size & Position"
property when pinning window refers to monitors by numbers (e.g., 0, 1, 3).
However, in Display Configuration, screens are identified by model/serial
number. This makes it impossible to accurately determine which screen a window
rule will apply to before setting up a multi-monitor configuration.
Furthermore, when monitors wake up from sleep, the association between the
numbers and physical screens can change. This results in windows with specific
screen rules being reordered while the desktop configuration remains unchanged.
After a system restart, the window rules work correctly until next sleep

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  2 or more monitors
2.  Pin window to specific screen in window rules


OBSERVED RESULT
Can't identify the specific monitor

EXPECTED RESULT
Instead of numbers, the values should correspond to the identifiers used when
clicking 'Identify' in Display Configuration.
