Bug#349990: kwin: smart placement is not multi-screen/xinerama aware
Package: kwin
Version: 4:3.5.0-4
Severity: normal
With one screen completely full, trying to open further windows just clutter
that full screen even more... while the other screen is completely empty.
I have tested, and this has nothing to do with "control
center|peripherals|monitor|unmanaged window placement". I couldn't find any
other setting that changed the window placement behaviour to be aware of the
other screens.
