s,open,fix,g ;) seriously, the main reason why kicker got as good with multiscreen (not to mention multiple panels on the same screen) as it did is because i used a 2 screen desktop for ~2 years, during which time i fixed every issue i spotted. it was worth it to me because it affected my daily usage. i used multiple panels on both screens of a multi-screen set up, my workflow at the time relied on it, so i put some effort into it. opening bug reports does nothing, directly, to make the code better. i'm not expecting to have a multiscreen setup again for the foreseeable future, so it really needs some other people chipping away at the user experience of panels in multiscreen. your lives will improve, as will many others who also use multiscreen. just think how absurd it is that, once again, most of the current multiscreen features and fixes in plasma-desktop (including multihead) have been written by me on a single screen system. "absurd" is the perfect word. i've had some grateful and dedicated testers, but that's like feeding each other with 10 foot chopsticks: yes, it's possible, but it's really clumsy and very silly. i know man of you have a million other things to do, but this is an excellent investment in your day to day experience on your computer. and generally, once it's Fixed(tm) it doesn't need to be revisited as that code tends not to change at all once working. -- Aaron J.
