Hello,
I noted a small issue when using dual screening (primary and secondary displays). If you have windows open in different workspaces, they all move in workspace 1 after a screen lock. Is it a configuration issue or something else?

First I have heard of it tbh. However, similar results when I have lost power to a second screen. Sounds like screen lock is losing connection with the second screen.
hih, Fred

I tried the same experiment: 1. Dual screens 2. windows on secondary display and in several workspaces on the primary display. 3. locked the screen
When unlocked everything was where it was prior to locking. Did I do that right?

I don't screen lock and very seldom 'suspend' or 'hibernate' the system. But the few times I did susp or hiber, I noticed the same behavior. All windows came back in workspace one.

In hibernate/suspend, the system essentially powers down. This is quite different than a screen lock, where the system remains alive and kicking.
When it comes back up from hibernate or suspend, it's probably going to initially see just the primary display and doesn't really know about the second screen. How you'd get around that, I'm not sure. Sometimes even USB and other external devices (e.g. E-SATA and the like) don't come up from suspend/hibernate modes either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Do you know where _your_ towel is? - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This does not happen for me on a desktop system with KDE and Xorg.
One thing that does happen is, if I manually power off the secondary monitor (which I do since the HDMI in has a chromecast connected) and forget to power it on before moving my mouse to wake up the monitors the secondary monitor will no be sensed by the system and will remain dark. However, the windows on the secondary monitor will remain there.
Is there a possibility the system is going suspend/hibernate after screen lock? Thus, the disconnect?

I know, or I think I know, that you're asking the question of me since it appears after my response in the thread. But, if someone isn't using or following threads they would have no idea what this is in reference to. It would be totally without context.
But, to answer your question, of course it isn't going into suspend or hibernate. I'm a bit more observant and knowledgeable about how I have my system configured. :-) :-)

This may be a network related issue. I experience the same issue at work in Windows 7. Depending on what development work I am doing I will leave my system active and screen locked when I go home at night. Our network is configured to disconnect inactive applications after, I think now, 25 minutes, so when I get back into work in the morning and unlock the screen all the open windows have moved back to the primary screen. If I lock the screen and unlock it after say 5 minutes the same thing doesn't occur.
regards,
Steve
