2 days ago I gave KDE4.3 a try and figured out how to use activities. (This may have nothing to do with 4.3, but I played around a little.)

No I have the following problem: I have TwinView with 2 different resolutions but I want to use the same acitivties on both screens. This works great, if I place the plasmoids on the upper left edge of the screen.

But plasmoids on the right side (or the bottom) are misplaced on one screen (because of the different resolutions). So is there a way to e.g. say: Place the plasmoid 5 pixels from the right side independet from the screen resolution.

I had a look at the plasma rc files. But it's not that easy to find out which part is for which plasmoid and it looks that there are some old parts from plasmoids I already deleted.

The question is now, is there a easy way to configure the plasmoids? Or is there an hard way? (e.g. rewriting config files and give a position a negative position)

Plasma is resolution independent, which is what makes it so flexible, therefore everything is expressed as co-ordinates from the top left of the screen I believe. These co-ordinates are automatically scaled for varying screen sizes I think.

Do you mean, plasma should do this by itself? Then maybe its a bug in 4.3.

They're not. At least not in 4.2 or 4.3.

I have a brainstorm thread about this: [Plasma/Activities] Plasmoids scale with screen size

So then is there a way to solve the problem now?

Not that I am aware of.
