yep. there are two things i can think of:

- do as i used to with my xinerama setup and have a taskbar on each screen 
with "show windows on this screen only" turned on. that quickly became my 
favourite mode (well... i implemented it so .. yeah. haha.. guess why?)

- we work really, really hard on making the taskbar more ergonomic than the 
kicker one over the next couple of releases so it fits nicely back on just 1 
screen =) this is the "putting the daunting challenge in front of yourself to 
force the production of better ideas" approach, but i'm ok with that.

i'll work my hardest to make the above happen at least by 4.1 .... fair 
enough? =)
