Well, actually you're starting "a session" and the outcome differs related to the used WM and or session script. Something will have an impact here. (You could try what happens if you actually only start X11 + xterm, ie. "failsafe") The thing in KDE managing screen setup is krandr. "kcmshell4 randr" for setup, "krandrtray" in the panel and a script called "krandrstartup" which should be invoked by startkde If you altered the startkde script to get a different session login, you just might have accidentally dropped it. If not, you could also check what CTWM does on startup, call "ctwm --replace" from the "regular" session.

No, to look at the screen it looks normal, but all the stuff that is placed at coordinates in the first 1024 pixels to the left is not visible.

What's the output of xrandr -q? CTWM seems err... "matured" (aka old) - it can pot. not cope with xrandr driven multiscreen setups. Can you move the pointer out of the visible area and to you have a dead area on the right (ie. is the desktop just shifted to the left?)

Dell D520 and strange X coordinates
I have Fedora 17 installed on a Dell Latitude D520. I can boot it into runlevel 5 just fine as a laptop and I can run the default KDE window manager. I like to use CTWM, so I use the Custom option. It all works fine. When I put it into the docking station, I have two video outputs, one VGA and one DVI. If I boot into the default desktop, they both work as expected. However, if I start into the Custom desktop, my ctwm desktop comes up fine, but it seems that there are 1024 pixels of width off to the left of the left screen that isn't visible. There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and the only thing in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is a file for the keyboard. I tried running "Xorg -configure" to generate an xorg.conf file that I could modify, but it fails because the number of screens doesn't match. I have searched the internet for a starting xorg.conf file for this system, but haven't found one yet. Has anyone here seen this issue? Maybe there's an easy fix for it?
