It sounds like the "shortcut for activating specific/other Xinerama screen (no 
default, configure in the shortcuts kcontrol module" is what I'm looking for 
(with a little bit of reading between the lines).  Even if it's not, it

Sorry, I probably won't test it until/unless Mandriva packages the change with 
their next release (e.g., Mandriva 2007).

PS: If I can vote, I'd sure like to vote to have that patch included in kde 
4.0.  (The other changes sound good as well!)
