    KDE 4.2 moves plasmoids to top left of the desktop

    I'm running KDE 4.2 under Intrepid. I usually drop my plasmoids on the lower part of the desktop and usually this isn't a problem. However, whenever I switch to "TV-out" mode and then back to normal, KDE moves my plasmoids to the upper-left section of my desktop. If I drag them beyond these "boundaries" KDE seems to have created in this area of the screen, the plasmoids snap back into that area. It looks as if KDE may still think the desktop is the size that it was when I switched into TV-out mode and thinks the plasmoids are being dragged off the desktop.

    I am using an ATI Radeon 9000 (RV 250) video card with the open source driver. Since there is no official support for tv-out, I use a bash script to switch in and out of TV-out mode. Here's what I'm using:

    Code:
    xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
    xrandr --output LVDS --mode 800x600 
    xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
    xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1
    And the following to switch back to normal mode:

    Code:
    xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0
    xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1400x1050
    xrandr --auto
    Logging out and logging back in allows me to use the entire desktop again.

    I'm still having this problem in Jaunty. Anyone else encounter it?
