yeah, this still often sucks though =( i really wanted to get to adding 
xinerama awareness to kdebase/kcontrol/background/bgrender.h|cpp but just 
didn't have the time. for the next release, though =) it's a bit scary in 
bgrender, but it's nothing too bad. basically it just needs to work on 
_sections_ of the screenpixmap (where one "section" is the geometry of a 
given screen) rather than the whole thing.

this shouldn't be too, too hard for the usual one-dimensional array of 
monitors, but i'm not certain off the top of my head how easy it will be to 
get it right for two dimensional arrays of screens.
