I'm at my wits end regarding kde and xinerama.

I've got the two heads running just fine.
I've got the virtual desktop running under a single
KDE invocation (KDE-2.2.2) so I can slide a window
across screens.

But there is some very annoying behaviour that I can't seem
to rid myself of.

In particular, if I horizontally maximise, say, an emacs window it
maximises across the _entire_ virtual desktop, which, in most cases,
is the wrong thing to do.

When the kde screensaver comes up, it is centered in the virtual
desktop not in one of the physical desktops---again the wrong
thing to do.

I've wasted a lot of time poking around in google and all I've
discovered that KDE 2.2.2 is supposed to be "xinerama-aware" but, from
the above behaviour, it clearly isn't.

What do I need to do to get kde to understand that I'm running
xinerama?  I'm running Mandrake 8.2 with stock KDE.
