If you are using the built in nvidia 'twinview' then it should just *work* if 
it's set up correctly in your Xfree/Xorg config. That's how it works here. 
KDE doesn't require any special configuration to use multiple monitors it's 
all handled by the X server.

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "GeForce FX5200"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "BusID:1:0:0"
    Option "Twinview" "1"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "crt, crt"
    Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
    Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31.5-70.0"
    Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60-120"
    Option "MetaModes" "1152x864, 1152x864; 1024x768, 1024x768;"
EndSection
