Stop using Xinerama. It's slow.

Instead, use TwinView. This will mean however that you'll need two X screens 
(the top two, and the bottom two) and if you're running KDE4 or later, you 
will only be able to run KDE4 on one of those screens. I have a triple head 
layout and run e16 on one of the screens.
