I also see this, with a fully updated gutsy, and the nvidia-driver(*) and twinview. (intel x86-64, GeForce 7600 GT)
pseudo-Xinerama is completely broken, in both KDE and in Gnome, so that dialog boxes split across 2 screens, and maximising windows makes them span both screens. Also, the windows don't see the centre-line as an "edge", so don't "snap" to it in KDE. Unfortunately, logging out and back does not fix it. I also get the erroneous-error "You don't appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver" from nvidia-settings. Some further experimentation: 1)The KDM login screen does center correctly on one monitor, unlike every other dialog box, which centers between the monitors. (If I add "option xinerama" to xorg.conf, even this stops working. That's probably expected, since real xinerama disables twinview) 2)KDE's kcontrol monitor configuration looks unusual, and seems to be missing features compared to the same kcontrol option on other, non- ubuntu KDE systems. It seems to use displayconfig, which I am guessing is releated to displayconfig-gtk. Has Kubuntu replaced a working KDE- native configuration widget with a broken kubuntu tool? 3)Mandriva One 2008.0 (the liveCD with the nvidia driver) works absolutely perfectly with twinview, and the windows/panel behave properly. (The KDE monitor-tool is different in Mandriva 2008 (KDE 3.5.7) to the expectedly identical counterpart in kubuntu.) 4)The output from xdpyinfo is identical from both my broken Gutsy system, and my old Mandake 2005 system (which used the same monitors, but a totally different CPU/motherboard, and a FX5200 card, and which also had pseudo-xinerama working properly).
