When adding an extra monitor to my laptop and changing to a "twinview-below" configuration with "nvidia-settings", any newly started application opens in an XL-sized window with extra-large font. Annoying in it's on right, but if I then switch back to one screen the font gets scaled to "extra small" making it unreadable. Applications and windows that already existed before the switch keep their size and appearance (as measured both in pixels and in centimeter) I would like to prevent this behaviour, but can't find where. It seems to happen with the "below" configuration but not with the left or right configuration Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect extra monitor to laptop 2.configure twinview with nvidia-settings 3.start new application Actual Results: new windows and fonts in the are extra-large Expected Results: don't change default size of windows and fonts nvidia-drivers 180.29, xorg-x11 7.2, xorg-server 1.3.0.0-r6, kde 3.5.9 Portage 2.1.6.7 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.25-tuxonice-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.25-tuxonice-r4-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_T5600_@_1.83GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:00:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r14, 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.6-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en nl" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib accessibility acl acpi alsa amd64 arts artswrappersuid automount avi berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bluetooth bzip2 cdr cli cracklib crypt cups curl dbus divx divx4linux dri dts dv dvd dvdnav dvdr dvdread emacs encode f77 ffmpeg fftw firefox fortran gcj gd gdbm gif gimp glitz gpm hal iconv ieee1394 imagemagick ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde kerberos lame lapack ldap mad mbrola midi mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib nat ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl plotutils png pppd python qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session spel spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs tcl tcpd threads tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vorbis x264 xcomposite xinerama xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics wacom" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en nl" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv vesa fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
This is an upstream bug that should be reported, but since kde3 development is frozen and we can't do anything, i'll have to close it. Thanks for report though
