Primary display configuration setting in Xorg is not honored by KDE
Issue
- We have dual head configuration with spanning desktop across two monitors.
- gdm login screen is displayed on correct primary monitor set in Xorg configuration.
- After login to kde session,
plasma-desktoploads on another monitor. - Primary monitor set by Xorg is not honored by
plasma-desktop - Seems KDE uses its own algorithm to decide primary monitor in the setup irrespective of the settings offered by Xorg.
- KDE panel is not displayed on primary monitor.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- KDE 4.3
