"the taskbar doesn't show up because it's configured to be on screen 2."

that should be fixed in 4.6 where such panels automigrate to an existing screen if there is no panel already there.

"The fact that screen 2 doesn't exist makes no difference to how KDE decides to layout the widgets."

primarily because there is no established "correct behavior": should all the desktop widgets be migrated to screen 0? well, that would likely mess up the widgets that are there.

the other gotcha is that plasma-desktop relies on the xserver to consistently number the screens in a sensible fashion. during screen changes such as the one you describe, it often doesn't. whichever way we chose to interpret those numbers, it'll be the "wrong" behaviour on some number of machines. :/
