Hello,
I have two screens on my PC one of 1920x1200 and the other 1680x1050 off an nvidia card using the nvidia drivers and twinview. I upgraded to Opensuse 11 and KDE4.0 a while back and everything worked well. I have a panel on each screen at the bottom.

When I upgraded to KDE4.1 windows now don't correctly maximize on the larger screen, they go to the correct width of 1920 pixels (to fill the width of that screen) but only go down the screen 1050 pixels (ie to the bottom of the smaller screen). Windows used to go to the correct size. When I maximize windows on the smaller screen they fill the screen correctly. All the panels are in the correct places and I can manually resize the windows to the full size of the larger screen.

Here is the geometry section of the .kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc file
[Containments][1]
...
geometry=0,0,1920,1200
...

I didn't look at this file before upgrading so I don't know if it has changed. Can anyone help.

Thanks,
Philip

Looking around there seems to be a few problems similar to mine if not exactly the same, should I file a bug report? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Its having two panels that is causing the problem, I got rid of one and the maximising problem has now gone but I can get another panel back, its appears in the wrong place and cannot be moved.

Solved:
The movement of the panel seems to be a strange problem that means its hard to get it to move but after much clicking in different places in edit panel mode I managed to get hold of it. As for the maximising of windows this was due to the panel on the small screen just coming on to the side of the larger screen, once I made it slightly smaller the problem went away.

Annoying! But solved.
