that's correct; something that did occur to me the other day was that a "nice" 
way to handle this would be to add a config overlay to $KDEHOME for other 
heads for apps that need it.

this way there's no special code in the apps themselves, they inherit their 
defaults from screen 0 and get their own settings saved into the $KDEHOME 
overlay.

this would mean having some way of identifying such applications, then 
providing a way in KStandardDirs to add $KDEHOME to $KDEDIRS instead and 
create a new $KDEHOME value. 

this would need to be done on a per-app basis, obviously, since kword (e.g.) 
doesn't care care which screen it's on =)

thoughts?
