3/4) I have a lenovo Thinkpad T61 with an Intel graphics card
(1280x800). When I'm at my desk in the office I have an external monitor
plugged into (1680x1050). I often have to unplug it for meetings etc.
The problem is:

When I have applications open on the _external_ screen and I disable the
external screen in systemsettings or with xrandr KWin does _not_ move
the applications to my Notebook screen! So they are unreachable from the
notebook screen because the applications are still "displayed" on the
_unplugged_ monitor. That's very annoying!

KWin _must_ move windows from a monitor which is unplugged to a monitor
which is active because otherwise your applications can't be reached any
more.
