I would assume it's 1024x768, while GDM sets it to 1280x800. So something resets it at startup of the KDE/GNOME session. Any X application gets the screen size during connection setup. 'Interested applications' - and i would assume any GNOME/KDE applications qualify for this - can register for events to be notified of screen size changes. So to me it looks like that either there is a race in delivering these events or these events are not delivered properly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

What's the screen size in XDM/KDM? I would assume it's 1024x768, while GDM >sets it to 1280x800. This was my first thought as well, but it was proven to be wrong. Xserver already starts with 1280x800.

"Is the xrandr output in comment #13 exactly what's printed on this system?"
What do you think we are up to here ? Playing games on each other ?
Hey, you don't have to insult me here. You were testing various combinations with different display managers. It's conceivable that you ran this with GDM where the sessions had the correct display size. RandR reports a size of 1280x800, what xdpyinfo reports I don't know because you didn't attach the output I asked you for. We still need to find out what Xinerama says as there is currently no client to query that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

While banshee uses always the full display space, whether started from the menu or a terminal doesn't matter. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The log file from the duplicate bug shows that gnome-panel finds one X screen with two monitors, where the *first* monitor is 1024x768 and the *second* one is the full resolution of your "primary" display.
