That's how I think about it. But at this level I'm just a KDE user, I'm not 
going to implement such behavior myself. Unfortunately. I'll have to keep 
living with what we have ;-)

MS Windows 8.1 does it in such way, that window is redrawn at some point 
between the screens, so its state may be "big" or "small", when it is on the 
boundary, depending on the screen to which the system assigns it. But it is 
completly not important. I'm thinking about windows, which are full on one of 
the screens - then it's fine.

Anyway - thanks for your answer.
