Bug#345072: kwin: focus has a strange behavior on a dual head config.

[Grégoire Druant <G.Druant@gmail.com>]

Package: kwin
Version: 4:3.4.3-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I use kde on a dual head configuration : the primary screen is a CRT one 
(1024x768) and the secondary is a tv (800x600).

I only use the TV to play videos, but sometimes I meet some stranges 
behaviors. For exemple, if I use the alt+tab hotkey to switch of window, 
sometimes the change window box appears on the tv which is off, and then the 
focus is on the tv and I have to click on the desktop of my main screen to 
bring the focus back on it.

Another thing can be sometimes annoying : I have a multimedia keyboard with 
some extra keys (Mail, Web, ...) and sometimes the application called by this 
hotkey start on the wrong display. I don't understand this because this is 
often when my tv is off (and by the way when I'm not using this screen) that 
the problem happens.

Thanks.
