Which is a problem for some applications - kicker and kdesktop being the 
most annoying of them.

I have a 2560x1024 desktop and two 1024x768 desktops, and I have learned 
simply not to run KDE with the same .kde between these :-( Just try 
setting reasonable background images on these to see the immediate 
problem. After that, you will notice that the location of kicker buttons 
and applets will be completely screwed up when you go back to the 
xinerama screen. To make matters worse, I have the xinerama support on 
kicker set up so the panel only shows on one monitor. This doesn't 
exactly work well when I log in on the smaller desktops.

The only point I'm making here is that the current solutions have problems 
different desktop sizes. Please don't take it as a "fix it, dammit" user 
mail. If someone will improve this, I'll be happy. Otherwise I will live 
with it, since I'm not going to do anything about it myself.

Bo.
