Thank you. As I see this is the perfect and the only working solution at
this moment
KDE-4-3 monitor settings applet has a section "dual display" or
something similar, but thinks I don't have a dual capable hardware :) so
maybe sometimes in the future someone will implement this feature better
and makes it more user friendly.

Hello,
you can achieve this with xrandr.
I have a similar setup and i run the following comand to set things up.
xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --auto
You get an overview over your devices and their names by typing xrandr
as user.
I also do not have a xorg.conf but let xorg do the config by itself.
So when i am on laptop only, xorg finds the right settings for me. If i
am at home using the second screen, i wrote that command and some other
stuff in a small script and linked that in a bin directory. So i type
"dualscreen" and the script sets things up for me.
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --auto
display -window root /home/smash/wallpaper/Feuersbrunst_dual.jpg
So the result looks like this:
