View Full Version : KDE dual monitor wallpaper

Have dual monitors, and, when using kde, the wallpaper on the right screen is solid blue and not Constantine like the left screen. When clicking the cashew on the left screen (I can't believe there's cashews for both screens) it seems the wallpaper is pointed to Constantine, although the Author space is blank (it says Fedora project on the left screen). Does anyone know if this is the norm in F12 KDE?
Is there a bug that doesn't allow the wallpaper on the right screen to show up. (Sorry am not so good at finding it on bugzilla, nothing seemed to come up.) Is there a different wallpaper I can point the desktop settings to that allows it to come up on the right monitor?
I'm using a Nvidia 9800 GT card and the nouveau driver, which work perfectly fine in Gnome. I've tried everything in system settings/display/multiple monitors also. Any ideas?

TIA

The wallpapers are set independently for each screen. Click on the other "cashew" and set the wallpaper there for the right display.

Thanks for answering typeric, I did try that. The wallpaper on the right screen was pointed to the same wallpaper (Constantine). I even tried changing the wallpaper to see if that helped but still just got a blue screen. The right monitor worked perfectly except for the fact that wallpaper didn't show.
I'll try it again when the Beta comes out, and I can do a fresh install. The problem could've been something I did while experimenting with gnome and kde on the same install.
Thanks for your help.

Really? Hmm ... I don't know. That's how it works for me.

Yeah, I didn't really see any other posts complaining about it. It was probably due to one to many experiments on my part on the same install. I'll see how it does when I do a fresh install. Thanks.
