[Bug 355104] Re: [Jaunty] Desktop "jumps" to secondary monitor in dual head mode

[wofritz]

I can get xinerama mode basically working, but only with xrandr command line or xorg.conf.
krandrtray is not working for me.

My problem is, if I am running in single monitor setup (the left of my
monitors is active), the "desktop" with panel etc. is on this monitor.
If I activate the second (right) monitor, the desktop is moved to this
monitor, in fact the destops on both monitors are swapped.

Meanwhile I made another observation:
If I am running a xinerama setup configured via xorg.conf, so that kdm is running in xinerama mode, the "desktop" of a new user is created on the left monitor on first login as expected. The right monitor shows an empty desktop. If I then disable the right monitor with xrandr, the empty desktop from the right monitor is displayed on the left monitor. So in order to be able to see the panel etc. in dual and single monitor mode, I have to move it to the right monitor first.
