            Bug ID: 323056
           Summary: Panels don't remember what screen they are associated
                    with (multi-screen) (using kscreen)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: plasma
           Version: git master
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panel
          Assignee: plasma-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: thiago@kde.org

Plasma does not remember which screen a Panel is connected to when using
kscreen. This is a new problem, it wasn't happening before kscreen. Either way,
Dan says it's a Plasma bug.

Whenever you disconnect a monitor, the panel(s) that existed in that monitor
are moved to the remaining screen(s). Often, that means they end up on top of
or under another panel, which means you can't reach one without moving the
other.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure kscreen's kded module is running
2. Connect a second monitor (kscreen will extend the screen there)
  Note: I have a secondary screen to the left of the primary. I don't know if
this makes a difference.
3. Add a panel to the secondary screen
4. Disconnect second monitor
  kscreen will reduce the desktop to one screen
Actual Results:  
The panel that was added to the second screen is now on the first screen

Expected Results:  
The panel that was on the second screen should have disappeared and stayed
hidden.

Additionally:

5. Reconnect the second monitor (kscreen will extend the desktop there)

Actual results:
Panels remain where they were. Nothing is moved to the second screen.

Expected results:
Panel that was originally on the second screen should reappear.
