Bug 131876 – Updating from kde 3.5.1 to kde 3.5.2 breaks second screen

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2006-05-01 03:19:13 UTC]

After updating to kde 3.5.2 window borders are not painted any more and I only have one Desktop on my second screen. This problem does not exist if I start kde 3.5.2 with an empty KDEHOME.

Deleting .kde3.5/share/config/ksmserverrc fixed the problem for me

Can you attach a diff of the broken and properly working ksmserverrc, please!?

How about 3.5.5?

I have not seen these with recent KDE updates but during 3.5.4 or maybe 3.5.5 I switched to using Twinview so I have only one DISPLAY now.

Sounds fixed, though not a lot we can if you only have one DISPLAY.
