--- Comment #291 from Michael Butash <mich...@butash.net> ---
I apologize if my words were strong, but this is a very sore topic with me. 
KDE has had persistent issues since 4.x making multi-monitor life hell, where
they marked them "will not fix", and opted to only do so in 5.x, where it
remains so.  KDE is still my favorite desktop, when it's not being entirely
unreasonable, and I use it on my laptop that usually only has 1 display, and
doesn't freak out too much with an uncommon second plugged into it.

Most people with real monitors will not notice this, as they handle DMPS power
down to not fully "unplug" to the video card, but the TV's I use, and a lot of
other bigger samsung "monitors" using HDMI I see now simply power off the port
that a computer doesn't know it's there anymore, and this is what utterly
freaks out KDE.  

Add 3 displays, and it gets very upset as I manually power them off, going from
3, to 2, to 1, to zero, and then back on going from 0, to 1, to 2, to 3.  This
is what seems to anger it off the most.  I've never seen anything useful in
logs that might indicate something easily to me, it seems just the behavioral
handling is defective.

If I had any such skill with development, I would try at least, but my forte is
more in network and infrastructure pieces.  All I can really do is use another
DE that works better, and try and let you know that people have given up on
yours for lack of resolution to issues like these.  

I'm sorry if not constructive enough, but otherwise let me know what I can
provide that might help resolve this, please.  I'm obviously not the only one
here either.
