yes. this really is a problem with kicker. in kde4 we will no longer be 
supporting multi-screen panels for this very reason. for kde3 i simply 
consider such configurations broken; they should be configured differently.

IIRC windows by default only shows a taskbar on the first screen by default in 
such configurations, and i think this is fairly sane given the fact that we 
can't know what the real configuration is.

it's gets even more comical when the screens are layed out horizontally ;)
