Hrmmm ... I just tried restarting X with xinermira(sp?) support enabled, and 
get odd results as my monitors are two different sizes ... under KDE3, there 
was a way of starting up a second WM / desktop on Screen 2, vs Screen 1 .. I 
couldn' tmove windows between monitors, but could cut-n-paste between monitors, 
and start applications on each ... but they were totally independent otherwise 
...

Is that functionality gone with KDE4?  I'd hate to have to downgrade back to 
KDE3 :(

My nVidia card is: nvidia0: <GeForce 7900 GS> on vgapci0 ... and I'm using the 
nvidia kernel module ...

My X config file looks like, in case this is an X related issue:
