[Bug 1174689] Re: Nvidia/Dual screen - No Taskbar/Kdemenu on default install Kubuntu 13.04

[Philip Muškovac]

** Description changed:

  On a new install  I don't get a taskbar(panel) or kde menu - I only see
  one panel with just activitives on it - i.e only half a desktop...
  
  This has occurred on multiple machines (all with Nvidia cards and dual
  monitors)
  
  I have to add the panel manually or I don't have a taskbar/menu - you
  have one panel with just the activity launcher.
  
  This occurs before installing the nvidia binary driver.
  
  It's happened on 3 different work stations (all dual monitor/nvidia)

+ == Workaround ==
+ For those that need this to work before a fix is out and don't want to edit the panels by hand, edit 
+ /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/apps/plasma-desktop/init/00-defaultLayout.js
+ there replace 
+ panel.height = panels()[i].height = screenGeometry(0).height > 1024 ? 35 : 27
+ with 
+ panel.height = screenGeometry(0).height > 1024 ? 35 : 27
+ 
+ after that reset your kde configuration by removing ~/.kde (or at least
+ the plasma config in there), login and you'll have properly set up
+ panels.
