[opensuse-kde] Strange panel position on login
Hi all, I am currently using KDE 4.7 from K:R:47 on my openSUSE 11.4 x86_64. Since my screen in 1366x768, I have set up two vertical panels on the left and right border of the desktop. On login, the right panel is correctly placed, while the left panel is 33 pixels away from the desktop border, as you can see in [1]. It is automatically placed on the left border if I change the screen size (as happens when I switch to an 1900x1200 external monitor) or if I go to Panel settings and then I move a bit the screen edge. If I log out and then login again, the left panel returns as in [1]. How can I have the left panel correctly placed on login, as happens for the right one?

Check the values for panel geometry which are actually written in your .kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc. If you find they are wrong, you can change them manually, but do it when KDE is not running.

I posted my plasma-desktop-appletsrc in http://pastebin.com/qAHK8S0x, so you can see whether it is correct, since I am not sure about the values. If I have understand correctly, [Containments][85] refers to the right panel, while [Containments][1] to the left panel. The value that seems strange to me is at line 24: geometry=10536,-774,40,768 Should it be geometry=0,0,40,768 ? Anyway, why does it still store and use the wrong position if I move the panel to the left border?

Sounds right
The value that seems strange to me is at line 24: geometry=10536,-774,40,768 Should it be geometry=0,0,40,768 ?
Might work. I believe the format is xposition, yposition, xsize, ysize . Try changing the values (as i said, with plasma NOT running) and see if it makes a difference.

Dunno. Filing a bug upstream might get a fix or at least an explanation. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Howdy, Remember that KWIN's vertex (0,0) is the upper left of the display. If you'd like to get a window position, you can either enable displaying of coordinates [1] or use `Window Rules > New > Window tab > Detect Window Properites' and look at the values in the `Geometry' tab. Reference ========= [1] - `System Settings > Window Behavior > Moving' and check `Display window geometry when moving or resizing' Cheers, --- Pablo Sanchez - Blueoak Database Engineering, Inc Ph: 819.459.1926 Fax: 760.860.5225 (US) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

No difference at all.

This applies only for windows; for panels and widgets, there is not such information or, at least, it is not related to that option. Anyway, I have filed bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283063 and now I wait for information.
