Panoramic Desktop

How to create one panoramic desktop, i.e. wider than actual monitor screen?

Thanks!

That is only good if you have a bigger (virtual) desktop defined by X-Window.

Otherwise, as all resolution problems, it is something to be done at X-Window level.

Have a nice day!

Minor shock

Just for a minute, I thought someone had accidentally stumbled across

Maybe one day I'll update it for KDE 3.2!

Beware of the target version

Watch out for the version of kdelibs you need to patch with these modifications. When I made them I was working with a pre-3.1 CVS set of kdelibs but I recall problems when later trying to use these patches with 3.0.x release versions.

I think that one of the problems is due to viewport handling in kdelibs/kdecore and whether that was fixed at some point during the release cycle. Certainly, if you find that the patch is trying to fix something that isn't broken then you'll know why!

Good luck, anyway, if you do decide to try it out!
