Only show tasks from the current screen

Hello,
I use OpenSuSE 11.1 with KDE4.2RC1 with nVidia 8400mGS video card (nVidia latest stable driver 180.22) in dual-head mode (set by nvidia config utility). I want my task bar widgets to 'Only show tasks from the current screen'. So I set corresponding flag in Task Manager widget. And what I've got: right after Ok button pressed - ok for the current task bar - only windows from this screen. But if I move this window to another screen (second monitor) - nothing changes. The same applications are placed on this task manager widget. If I set 'Only show tasks from the current screen' it seems to work without any problems. I've found bug 166699 in the KDE bugzilla. But it is marked as resolved (in KDE4.1 as it is said). I've tried to remove ~/.kde4 folder. But no success. Any suggestions? UPD: This option was ok. But I cannot recall exactly whether it was in KDE4.2 versions earlier than 4.1.85 or with earlier nvidia driver or it was something else that this option is broken now.

*Confused*
Does it only show tasks on the current screen at the time the configuration dialog "Ok" button is clicked? Eg: If you have it enabled, move a window to another screen, it will show on both, until you go into the configuration and click "Ok" again?

Well, it seems like on OK button press some sync executes and I see on this task bar only apps from current screen. Like it is all ok. After OK pressed But, then no matter if I move any window on any screen. Taskbar shows the same picture. After firefox window moved to another screen P.S. Both panels are in "only show tasks from the current screen" and both have no changes at all
Well, I have to switch this mode off, press OK. Then settings window closes and I see all the tasks on this panel. Then I open setting again and select my option, press OK and again have "proper" (for this mode... like it's all ok) panel look. So, if I open taskbar setting reset flag and set it back immediately - nothing changes. It's necessary to pres Ok button in settings window.

I would recommend filing this as a bug then.

I can't reproduce this on my computer, running trunk + Twinview.

I use OpenSUSE repo rpms. So, maybe there are any means I can check differences between yours version (from current trunk) and SuSE's current rpms. Something like web SVN interface to look through log and diffs for the particular module... also I'm very interested in which KDE module/app is responsible for taskbar behaviour.

(Sorry, I don't know if you should post a new bug report or comment in Bug 166699)
Bolick, could you please post relevant parts from your xorg.conf? Although I have no idea why you get this behavior, there might be some clues there.

A stack of crasher and normal bugs were fixed by the Kephal developers after KDE 4.2 RC was released. This would be why Hans can't reproduce it. You will probably need to wait until KDE 4.2 is released fully unless openSUSE update their packages.

I've just updated rpm's to the 4.1.96-170.3 from OpenSuSE repo. Nothing changed. Anyway, does my xorg.conf correct? Is there any other way to resolve my problem or you are sure there's nothing to dig in just way for the release? It's not a problem for me to wait few days more, but it seems very strange for me that I haven't found the same issues from other people in kde and novell bugzillas and forums.

4.1.96 is RC1, so the bugs are still there. They were fixed after RC1 was tagged for release.
