I looked and looked and I simply cannot find the setting that adjusts which monitor new windows appear on by defaults. I know I saw this setting at one point, but that may have been before I switched to KDE 4.2, which was the week KDE 4.2 hit experimental. I also cannot find a setting to adjust whether maximization is across all screens on just one. >It seems like it works half-way. I am still not able to maximize >a window to only one monitor and to force new windows to open >on screen 1 (left). I am unable to maximize across both monitors. When a window is maximized (completely, horizontal, or vertical), is only spans one screen. I have had games and similar go across both monitors, but that is generally undesired because my combined monitors area is non-rectangular. I remember the setting that adjusted which screen new windows appeared on, and I left it on the default: "current", which works well for me. I do remember that you could set it on one in particular, if you wanted. With my currently addled brain, it is possible I am remembering these settings from when I was running "real" Xinerama instead of TwinView, but I really don't think that /should/ make a difference. >Here's my complete configuration. >Do you see a mistake in it? No. At this point, the only thing I can suggest is trying with a new user or at least a new .kde directory. (You don't need to delete the old one to test, just move it to a different name.) Either your settings or my settings are not the default -- and I can't find anything in mine that would affect how windows maximize. I searched, hoping I could, at least, tell you which config file and setting to alter to get the behavior you wanted, even if it didn't show up in the UI. I failed. What version of kwin are you running, just for my information? I believe your X is set up correctly now. Perhaps you might have better luck asking on a more KDE-specific mailing list, like debian-kde or kde- linux. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
