           Summary: video player in fullscreen mode and with "all desktops"
                    flag set remains on single desktop (annoing with 2
                    monitors)
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: benderamp gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I have connected TV as the 2nd monitor. I have ATI card - it does not work with Xinerama, but it has its own analog which is available to configure in catalist control center. Everything works rather fine - I have the whole kicker on the initial monitor, and the 2nd monitor (TV) only shows desktop wallpaper and I can drag windows to it - this works just fine.

The issue is the following. I want to open the video file in fullscreen mode on the 2nd monitor (TV), and to continue working on the 1st monitor. This is also ok - I drag video player to the 2nd monitor, enable fullscreen mode and the video is shown on the 2nd monitor in fullscreen. But I use multiple desktops on my system. So when I switch to another desktop on my 1st monitor, the 2nd monitor also switches to another desktop and the fullscreen video is hidden (as one could understand, I have started the playback for the 2nd person, not for myself). Setting the "all desktops" flag for the video player window does not help - the fullscreen window remains on the single desktop (but when it is not maximized, its window is shown and plays video on all desktops).

The workaround for me is not to use multiple desktops in this case, which is not very comfortable.
