 There's no real screen with Xinerama. You have one screen, one part of it 
being shown on one monitor, other part on other monitor. There's only the 
coordinates what matters.

 I don't see what does this have to do with writing a new window decoration. 
If you want new titlebar buttons for such functionality, simply add support 
for them, and modify at least some existing decorations to use it. Just see 
how some other button is implemented in KWin, it's not very difficult. And, 
since you seem not to know much about KWin or WM things, don't be afraid to 
ask.
