Whereupon it believes you. Thank you all for your help, Florian's suggestion and Leonardo's confirmati= on=20 is what worked for me too. Everything is as it was before KDE4.6, except f= or=20 one thing, the kdm login box shows up on the left hand monitor, and the KDE= =20 splash comes up on the right hand monitor after entering the passwd. =20 Previously it was in the middle of the whole virtual desktop and stayed the= re=20 throughout the KDE startup process. This is more of an observation, rather= =20 than a complaint. It seems that the two monitors are separate under KDM an= d=20 the KDM wallpaper is cloned, but the login box is not. In KDE-4.5.5, durin= g=20 KDM the two monitors behaved as one (xinerama style) and then they split in= to=20 separate screens after KDE started up. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart4850711.d7ti7YlfLm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk3UKpYACgkQVTDTR3kpaLaCYwCfccLh2LUux69hFNnd66A9W3kS tn4AoLsWXNvEetOCkDEM+pEgG+mPqTU9 =2nZv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart4850711.d7ti7YlfLm--
