OK, i made this work by removing kdesktop_lock executable (does this have
any hidden consequences?). Trinity is clearly multi-screens aware, it
maintains a separate panels/desktop configuration for a second screen, and
programs started from a menu invoked from second screen panel start on
a second screen.
So far i like this way more than multiple monitors on a single screen.
Separate virtual desktops on each monitor are GREAT. Of course no problems
with 0:0 not on a main monitor. The only real drawback (apart from
inability to move windows between monitors) is that you cant have different
chrome or firefox windows on a different monitors without going different
profiles.

Hi!
I decided to connect my TV as second monitor and am trying different
configurations. First i tried a "normal" xrandr approach and didnt liked
the result - no negative coordinates (0x0 is always a left most screen -
so i would have to learn to switch to left screen by moving mouse to the
right if i want my TV located physically to the left act as an secondary
monitor) and virtual desktops switching on both monitors (afaik trinity
have no support for separate virtual desktops in different monitors? i
hope i am wrong but doesnt looks so :( ). So i wanted to try a multiple
screens (in X sense) approach but hit a roadblock. As soon as i add
Screen 1 "Philips" LeftOf "ZR24w"
line to my xorg.conf and do tdm-trinity restart i am greeted with "this
computer is locked enter password to unlock" on a TV and there is no
escape from it other than killing X. Entering password just make it
blink for a second and return back.
Can this be somehow avoided or trinity is incapable of working on
multiple screens?
A little more info from some experimentation.
I get the same "session locked" if i start a second x session via startx
manually, but this time it can be unlocked. And i am presented with
this "session locked" every time i switch between sessions. So i believe
what is happening is that when i try to run multiple screens config is
that it tries to lock my "inactive" screen constantly.
So the real question is how to disable automatic locking of inactive X
session? I looked in TDE Control Center but didnt found anything.
P.S. Reading logs - everything is the same as normal in all of them except
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server
":0" after 113 requests (113 known processed) with 5 events remaining.
at the end of tdm.log
