starting it is easy; making it not use the same configuration files, etc and end up clobbering each other is not so much fun.

lubos and i discussed this a few weeks back on kde-core-devel; i would prefer not to do what we did in kde3 since it leads to various interesting hacks that just aren't very pretty.

it's on my todo for 4.2/4.3 unless someone beats me to it, in any case.

there were numerous bugs in kicker w/regards to dual head as well, btw. i dunno, xinerama/mergedfb/twinview just seem so much more natural. back in the day when you couldn't do accel video or opengl on some of these setups dual head sort of made sense.
