Multiple screens as a single workspace?

Hi,

I'm using two monitors combined into a single display with a rectangular boundary. Currently this means I have two separate plasma workspaces, each with it's own plasmoids (no drag&drop across screens), each with it's own cashew and each with it's own wallpaper.

Is there a way to make plasma treat the screens as a single, large workspace? After all, if I wanted two separate workspaces, I would have set xorg.conf accordingly, using displays :0.0 and :0.1 ...

I could probably fake the Xinerama information to tell plasma it's just a single screen, but then kwin wouldn't know the screen boundaries, either. :(


I can't imagine I'm alone with this issue, but I didn't find any plasma documentation except for broken links on the official page and a FAQ at userbase, and google wasn't too helpful either. Did I miss something?

using kde 4.2.1 on gentoo, xorg 1.5.3, nvidia 180.29, kernel 2.6.27, x86_64


greetings,

No, there isn't, and last I heard there are no plans to implement this. See here:
