Hi!
I have installed kde 4.9 and have a problem:
In kde 4.8 I could stretch fullscreen window on several monitors through System Setting -> Display and Monitor here was check box "Enable multiple monitor window fullscreen support", but I can't find this on new version of kde.
How can I enable this?

Have a look at the video wall script, for some background information read http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/tag/scripting/

If your mediaplayer (or other application) is not supported yet, the code looks easy enough to be extented. On my system it is in "/usr/share/kde4/apps/kwin/scripts/videowall/contents/main.js".

I would be interested in knowing the usecase for this feature.

Just started Video on Demand via Silverlight on a Triple Head 3600 x 1920 setup (3x 24" 1920x1200 vertical).
Switched to Fullscreen.

Guess what!
Video has width 1200 and height 1200 * 9 / 16.
This gives a pretty small video (approx. 10% of all 3 monitors).

I tried to use xprop and wmctrl to maximize to 3600 x 1920.
Guess what!
It didn't change anything.

Sum it up: Where are the good old "stretch fullscreen window" settings from KDE 4.8 ?????

If maximizing via the maximize button does not what you want, why do you think maximizing via the commandline should do??
You'd rather explicitly set the geometry - however...
