Thank you all for your help, Florian's suggestion and Leonardo's confirmation is what worked for me too. Everything is as it was before KDE4.6, except for one thing, the kdm login box shows up on the left hand monitor, and the KDE splash comes up on the right hand monitor after entering the passwd. Previously it was in the middle of the whole virtual desktop and stayed there throughout the KDE startup process. This is more of an observation, rather than a complaint. It seems that the two monitors are separate under KDM and the KDM wallpaper is cloned, but the login box is not. In KDE-4.5.5, during KDM the two monitors behaved as one (xinerama style) and then they split into separate screens after KDE started up. -- Regards, Mick
