plasma-desktop doesn't align propery in a dual screen setup with one monitor rotated to the left

[Craig Magina]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

I installed kubuntu-desktop ontop of an ubuntu 10.10 amd64 install and have tried to configure the dual screen setup via both the xrandr command-line utility and the Display KCM in System Settings and both exhibit the same issue. This setup works fine under GNOME. My setup consists of an ATi Radeon HD 2400 XT (RV610) video card with two Dell 2007FPb displays. I have one in the normal position and the other in a left rotated position. I have attached a screen shot showing the problem with the Display KCM open. I'll also attach my .xsession-errors file, just ignore any akonadi or nepomuck failures as I am using a NIS user with an automounted NFS home directory.

The screen shot shows plasma on the normal rotated desktop shifted to the left leaving a white space between the screens where you cannot interact with the desktop via the right-click interface.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
