Hi,

I have 2 monitors in dual setup: VGA-0 and DVI-0.

The main-panel with the kickoff menu shows up on the wrong monitor (VGA-0).

I cannot drag it to the DVI-0 monitor.

If I add a new panel from the DVI-0 monitor it gets created on the VGA-0 monitor.

Code: Select all
xrandr

VGA-0 connected 1600x1200+1600+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
408mm x 306mm

DVI-0 connected 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 306mm


Is there any way to change this?

Will KDE include this facility in the GUI? I mean, it should be easy to make moving the taks bar to a monito part of the GUI menu choices.

I second that. I'm in the process of moving back to linux after a few years on windows and this was one of the first thing I run into when running KDE.
I started with Unity, but mother of.... What have they done, it's a pure horror to use, then I been using cinnamon and quite liked it but the file-manager is from the dark ages. Both the ones in KDE and Unity are superior.
Unfortinate the start menu in KDE suffer of the same tablet/phone complex as windows10 and the windows button don't work (while I did hate it for a number of years but that was 21years ago, now I'm used to it and it's a really convient way to get to the "start menu".

Well I give KDE a few days and see what happens, but for now I think it have degraded quite a bit the past few years :(
