Status of multi-monitor support

Hi all,
I am very interested in having multi-monitor support working in KDE. I
have the feeling that there is really not so much work missing, and
that it might be possible to have decent multi-monitor support for
4.2.
I have been playing with Aike's kephal/screenmanagement. Really nice
stuff. I would say that the configuration side of things is basically
ready, ie. the user can change the resolution of each monitor and
select their placement (left-of, right-of, clone, etc). I'm not sure
about rotation (Aike?). Heavier testing and polishing is probably
necessary, but the skeleton is here.
On the other hand, the shell does not react well to configuration
changes. It is necessary to restart plasma when a monitor is
added/removed. Aike told me Seli is working on that. Is there
something I can do to help on that front?
Regards,
g
