Generally I've had very good luck with dual monitors in KDE.  I had some 
issues with mixing ATI and NVIDIA cards between monitors and having 
OpenGL apps crash.  No real surprise there, because the way OpenGL 
works on Linux is not very conducive to two sets of hardware drivers 
working simultaneously, as I understand it.  I don't think it had 
anything to do with KDE.

Getting dual monitors to work has little to do with KDE itself.  You 
just need to get Xorg to recognize and use both cards correctly.  The 
Fedora display setup (system-config-display) can do the basics (I tried 
it under FC4), but it won't work if you choose to use something more 
proprietary like NVIDIA's twinview (which I personally do). 

KDE will end up treating various dual monitor setups basically the same 
(so long as you're choosing to go with one large desktop rather than 
two separate X sessions).  The only feature I wish KDE would implement 
is to allow the shared desktop style to have different virtual desktops 
at the same time.  As it is now, the virtual desktops are just twice as 
wide.
