multiple "softplaces" on plasma desktop

[Fabio Zottele]

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

I don't know if it's a plasma or an xorg bug, but see attached figure and xorg.conf for the description. It happens when I configure a dual monitor.

What I expect: One "softplace" only. (I took the word "softplace" reading Aron Seigo's blog)

What happens: as in the picture i have multiple plasma "softplace" overlapping each other (three in this case).

My xorg.conf:

I don't think this is an issue in KDE 4.2 anymore.

Nevermind. I was confusing that with the xinerama fixes. But this is bug 192413 now that I think about it.
