Not this time.  There was a setting for this but I didn't think it would
do what I wanted so I didn't try it.  Frank mentioned that was the
correct setting and I tried it.  Sure enough, that was the problem.  I
figured I either missed something or Dolphin just made a big change. It
was me. 

I will say this to tho, I was getting the same plasma thing until I
started setting up window rules for all my apps.  I also removed the
plasma panel thingy at the bottom of screen two.  That also helped with
some other issues.  Firefox started going to screen 2 the other day.  I
set up window rules for it and included both size and screen location. 
It seems the Force option is the only reliable way to make it work tho. 

I notice another KDE release is on the way.  It's unstable when it hits
the tree but I run unstable for KDE and friends.  It may have some fixes
as well.  Introduce a new feature, get half a dozen bugs to fix.  Fix
those and then repeat.  LOL  Isn't that the way software works??? 

Should have a nice update to do this weekend.

P. S.  Checksum tool says this now.  (dir 190 of 631)  It's chewing on
it.  Just like eating a elephant.  :-D
