> The fact that it fails in 20s on your setup has no bearing on whether it regularly fails for anyone else. Testing resources are limited.

Nothing exotic, I do have a simple Thinkpad with Intel graphics, and I reported the bug a while ago.
Anyway, I could reproduce it on any hardware : login, place the external monitor on the top of the main, apply and... it is over: main screen get black, panel is on the secondary, and plasma gets unresponsive.

No, sorry if you feel so. Of course, I am not. But neither your, nor me, are native English speaker or have the same culture.

> Well, GNOME has a different set of workarounds that fail in other circumstances.

In my extensive experience, very, very much less. Bugs are minor and in more serious circumstances, Gnome manages to reload himself, preserving windows positions and everything else.
Believe me, I am honest, as I do prefer Plasma as a DE. I have tried using it for months and tried all possible workarounds, but for my work I need stability.
