I do that for Smplayer because that is what I use to watch TV with.  It
is set to open to the TV each time and full screen.  What I'm looking
for is the default setting for all other programs to open too.  Even if
there is a program I haven't used yet, when I do use it, I'd want it to
default to my primary screen. 

I thought that when I set my main monitor to primary, that is what the
primary setting was for.  Everything I open or notifications by default
go to that monitor by default, unless told otherwise using the setting
you mention.  As it is, nothing seems to have a default.  One time I
open something it may go to the main monitor and the next time open on
the second or even on what I use to watch TV with.  It's like it picks
it at random. 

I forgot to mention but I also have the primary set in xorg.conf file as
well.  It's just that KDE behaves like I don't have a default primary
monitor set or I need to set something else in another place I can't
find, maybe called something else??  I've looked everywhere I can think
of in KDE settings.  What is really hard to figure, notifications when I
plug something in.  It's consistently on the second monitor but that's
not where I want it to be. 

I have to be missing something besides just the primary monitor
setting.  I just don't know what.  Yet.
