I don't know. I did not initially add linking the clients with Xinerama and
failed to compile (link) the clients. So, I added it back and it works.

Yes. It should be possible. As I mentioned, once I implement enabling the
options through kcontrol, I will make it a flag.
I am sure that a lot more has to be done for full Xinerama support. I just
did this a quick and dirty hack for kwin. I could not stand windows opening
up over the middle of the screen and being spread across two physical
screens. So, I implemented this just for kwin. I shall add the kcontrol
option when I get some time.
