wrong behaviour for "separate screen focus" in kwinfocus

[Jaroslaw Filiochowski]

Binary package hint: kwin

Kubuntu 7.04
kwin 3.5.6-0ubuntu20
kwinfocus control module

Option "separate screen focus" works backwards. Disabling the dialog checkbox enables the option, while enabling it disables the option.

Steps:
- open kwinfocus control module (kcmshell kwinfocus)
- tick "separate screen focus"
- click "apply"
- press alt+tab
- only windows from the active Xinerama screen are shown
- un-tick "separate screen focus"
- click "apply"
- press alt+tab
- windows from all Xinerama screens are shown

I can confirm this.
Furthermore, I've verified that the value in ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc is written correctly.
Meaning: checked=true, unchecked=false.

-- My config:
 I'm using nVidia TwinView (in case that matters?).
 Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy)
 kwin 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.4
 Architecture: amd64

Seems to behave normal again in Gutsy.
(btw: I'm slightly confused since I think that the steps above by JarFil actually describe the correct behavior)

Behaves normal again in Kubuntu Gutsy (32bit)

The help text for the option says "When this option is enabled, focus operations are limited only to the active Xinearama screen", while in Feisty it works just the other way.

Actually... I suspect the confusion could have come from what "separate screen focus" should mean:
1) let's separate focus by screen
2) let's join focus from separate screens

So, maybe this option should be renamed in order to avoid any such confusion in the future?
