Bug#469269: kdebase: kwin + xrandr => window maximization broken
Package: kdebase
Version: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7
Severity: important
-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid
APT prefers testing
APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
When a second monitor (e.g. laptop + external monitor) is activated via
xrandr --output VGA --auto --below LVDS
then windows are maximized over both monitors (screens), in contrast to
the desired behavior of being maximized over a single screen only.
Restarting kwin (kwin --replace) while the second monitor is active
fixes the problem.
This did not happen with the previous version in testing
(3.5.8.dfsg.1-2). The problem is probably caused by the changes in
54_seli_xinerama.diff.
The problem is also found in version 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-1 from sid.
