It's a good idea but the problem with Xinerama is that with many applications, when you startup in fullscreen mode, the application tries to take over the entire 'virtual' screen instead of working in one screen and allowing me to work in the other. This results in a distorted video playback and the video still stutters on activity in the other display. I was thinking that if I could have another x server running, would that solve the problem? Of course maybe it's because KDE is not as Xinerama-aware as I would like. There are so many variables, I was hoping that someone has already jumped thru some of the hoops and could give some advice.
