> Nvidia Quadro FX540 dual-head, while the other 17 is running off of a
> Matrox Mystique.  I am running KDE 3.3.2 on Gentoo with a Linux kernel of
> 2.6.10.  This is a partially new setup for me.

> 4) As can be seen in the first and second images, some new apps when
> launched and do not remember their previous position, lodge themselves at
> the bottom of the screens.  This is not so much of a problem except when
> the apps are small and they get lost in the black area on the screens
> with the smaller resolutions.  If you notice in the first screenshot there

To make windows remember their positions, use the window menu (top-left corner 
of the window, left side of the title bar with the icon), and choose 
Advanced / Special Window Settings.
Then identify your window with some unique information, and set up the 
Remember Window Position, and Remember Window Size.

Unfortunately, I can not answer you questions about the panel on the top of 
your screen. I have only one monitor, and never used xinerama, or a 
multi-monitor configuration :)

HTH,

Daniel
