Bug#519430: kwin: Windows open on wrong monitor and maximize only on both monitors
Package: kwin
Version: 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
When I open an appication window (e. g. konqueror), they
open always on the left monitor of my 2-monitor-xinerama
setup. Before updating, I was able to configure the
behaviour where windows open or maximize in the control
center using the multiple monitor settings.
These settings are now ignored. There's no way now to
force an appication to maximize a window only on one
monitor or to initially start on a specific monitor.
Even worse, in my case applications usually open on the
second monitor.
Because of this behaviour, maximizing windows
became completely unusable to me. I have to resize and
move every windows to get it maximized on only one screen.
This slows down my workflow incredibly.
Martin
