           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. _______________________________________________
