Yes, it is exactly what I'm looking for. On my displays it was 2 (which I
wanted) and 5 (which I didn't). It was awkward to fix too because having
edited the relevant file, it was overwritten with the old values when I quit
KDE which at first caused me to think that it didn't work. But then I edited
it again before starting KDE and now I have the behaviour I like on both
screens.

As to documentation - good luck finding it - I looked but can't find it
mentioned anywhere. Yeah, I know, use the source Luke . . . .




Thanks again Drew,



Niall
