My understanding is that KDE is not currently fully xinerama aware. One of the features for 3.1 is to enhance this. You can see who is working on this as well as get status at http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.1-features.html
There was also a brief discussion about xinerama and KDE on the dot not too long ago. Bring up http://dot.kde.org/1025655479/ and do a search for xinerame. You'll find the thread. This probably doesn't help you much, but at least you'll know where KDE stands and where it's going... Best regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Dean S. Messing [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 1:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] kde and xinerama question I'm at my wits end regarding kde and xinerama. I've got the two heads running just fine. I've got the virtual desktop running under a single KDE invocation (KDE-2.2.2) so I can slide a window across screens. But there is some very annoying behaviour that I can't seem to rid myself of. In particular, if I horizontally maximise, say, an emacs window it maximises across the _entire_ virtual desktop, which, in most cases, is the wrong thing to do. When the kde screensaver comes up, it is centered in the virtual desktop not in one of the physical desktops---again the wrong thing to do. I've wasted a lot of time poking around in google and all I've discovered that KDE 2.2.2 is supposed to be "xinerama-aware" but, from the above behaviour, it clearly isn't. What do I need to do to get kde to understand that I'm running xinerama? I'm running Mandrake 8.2 with stock KDE. Dean
