[SOLVED] KDE4 thinks my second display is primary

So I've got a laptop with an nvidia graphics card, using the proprietary driver, and a secondary LCD coming out of the VGA port.

Driver detects both monitors, I set them up in twinview, and all is well.

Except that KDE draws the taskbar on my secondary monitor... even when it's not connected. Which leaves me pretty much useless if I take the laptop on the go.

Here's my xorg.conf:

Both screens are 1440x900.

Any ideas? Thanks!

edit: DFP-0 is my laptop's LCD and CRT-0 is the external LCD.

Well, fixed!

I changed

    Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0"

to

     Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"

and now everything is perfect. Hooray!
