Multiple screens is (still) a bit of an unsolved problem in Qt, not related to driver.

I'm using intel graphics ATM, maybe that's why I see lots of problems with switching between multiple screens

This patch is looking promising [1]. Been running with it for a couple of days and have yet to experience a crash. Remaining issues I experience after screen setup change are krunner (when not crashing due to baloo) occasionally moving around as you type, and plasmashell not removing the screen space it occupies from the available area (which is to say: it will cover a portion of maximized windows).

Let me know when/if you think that's worth pulling into our builds for broader testing.

There have been some comments on the code, but mostly aesthetic stuff. Depending on how fast things move in codereview, one could also start adding the current patch: the rebased version I'm using is here [1].

Thanks.
One more question, we currently carry,
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/qt5-qtbase.git/tree/qtbase-opensource-src...
would you recommend keeping that in addition to 138201.patch (or dropping it)?

I'm currently still carrying it, though if I read the proposed 138201 patch correctly, it should avoid that at any moment during screen configuration change no screens are available, so the first part of qtbase-opensource-src-5.5-disconnect_displays.patch should not be needed anymore (though not sure what happens when you start an application without any screens attached to the system and add screens later on). I don't know whether the second part of the patch is still needed. But neither change is in direct conflict with the proposed 138201 patch, so it should not harm to keep it around until 5.6.
