KDE 3.1.3 missing title bar and ability to type on second display
Hello All, I am not running KDE that much (now that I am playing with Gnome, Enlightenment, etc) but I did use it earlier today and for some reason, on my second monitor all applications that opened (such as Evolution, Mozilla, etc) are missing the title bar and I cannot type within them. When the screensaver comes on for the 1st monitor, the second one just sits there. It only happens it KDE. Ive already tried SuSEconfig, rebooting the machine and running Sax2 again (although I didnt really change anything on SaX2). Anyone know why this is happening and what I need to do to fix it? Thanks, -=Thinker

It should happen in any WM. If you lock the desktop the both monitors should be come unavailable if it's one desktop. This is normal I would think. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

When I lock the desktop, both monitors do become unavailable. But when I don't lock the desktop and I just walk away for a few moments, when I return monitor 0 has a screensaver running and monitor 1 doesn't. The bigger issue is that when I try to open a program on Monitor 1, like a terminal, it opens, but without the title bar and I am unable to type in it.

For some reason..don't know why...I've seen KDE only display the screensaver on monitor 0 and one can still see the desktop on monitor 1 but the whole desktop is locked. It's some weird thing in KDE. I've seen this at work with those who have dual monitors but as I don't have dual monitors I've never dug into it to find a fix. I just know it happens.

Is this when the screensaver is being displayed on monitor 0? If so then this is a bug. I'd check out kde.org's site to see if others have reported such goofy behavior. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.

OK.. I can live with that.

No.. this happens right after booting and loading KDE. If I click to open xterm on Monitor 0 it works fine and everything looks fine. On monitor 1 it opens, but the title bar is missing and I cannot type anything. Same with Mozilla, Evolution, Konquerer, and everything else. I am going to check the site. Thanks, -Thinker
