It can with Kde 3.5, but not with KDE4 if you're also running Plasma (which 
KDE4 does by default). Plasma cannot be run multiple times which effectively 
broke the multi-screen capability of KDE. I run a triple head setup and the 
only way to get this to work in a 3D accelerated fashion is to run a 
different VM (e16) on the 3rd display.
