This did the trick.

For the record, it's pretty easy to recompile the Slackware 8.1 packages 
for KDE and QT, then install those packages. You just need to download 
the source from your favorite Slackware mirror in the 
slackware-8.1/source/kde directory, download the qt-copy and kdebase 
folders. modify the build script in each to include the correct flags, 
then sh ./buildscript and voila!, xinerama support.

Thanks for your help!
