Hi
I have a fresh install of centos 7.4 with KDE on a laptop (latitude 5590) connected to a DELL WD15 dockstation with an additionnal screen. It works quite well, I have 2 screens side by side (default config), but.... If I add a second menu bar for the screen connected to the dockstation (KDE allow for this) it is not possible anymore to start a kde session if the laptop is not connected to the dock station (eg: at home), kde freeze and never show any menubar. I have to use gnome to login and remove the .kde directory.
Is there a way to avoid this ?
Thanks
Patrick

This problem seams more general... adding an application to the "favorite" when connected to a docks station produce the same freeze when laptop is standalone. The workaround is to to do this BEFORE connecting to the doc station the first time. :-(
I found also some problems with kwallet when seting up a wifi connection: it was requesting for a password but kwallet/centos was unable to focus in the popup windows to allow entering the password...:-\ (standalone laptop at this time)
kde seams to have some trouble in dynamic screen configurations. I switched to Xfce which just runs fine and do the job!
