Looks like it was a code/config bug in the version of KDE I was running Regards, Andrew Well it came back again, didn't it. And now it's gone again. It appears that I had in the past managed to expand a task bar widget thingy, I think the task manager, and just now whilst stuffing around, happened to notice it and rectify it. Andrew

Whenever I tried to setup a dualhead-setup (xaphod-style not a big screen with xrender) I had a similar problem when the second screen was smaller then the main-screen. Looks much like a bug to me. Could you give more information about your twin head configuration? Greetings Sebastian Beßler
