ug. that'd be ugly to implement. really ugly, if even at all really possible 
given that the mechanics of this is pretty much hidden by X. but Lubos Lunak 
would know more about it. and even if kwin could get it working, pagers and 
whatnot that operate under the assumption of "same desktop" would likely 
break.

i'm using twinview myself right now. it's actually Xinerama, just NVidia's 
implementation of it. it looks like, acts like and works like Xinerama for 
all intents and purposes, except it doesn't suck. i like getting 1700FPS from 
fullscreen 1152x864 glxgears in Xinerama, thank you very much ;)
