In response: KDE is really smart about this. It remembers what screen I last had the application open on when I was previously using that monitor configuration. So when I have two screens, it uses the correct screen. When I have one screen, everything appears there. When I go back to two screens, it uses the correct screen again. It just seems to work.
Out of curiosity: What graphics card do you have? What resolution is your laptop? How are you doing your twinview? Is xrandr using a bunch of extra memory for unused graphics area on the lower-resolution screen? Are you hitting resolution limits?
