 I must have overlooked that one.

 I don't use Xinerama, so I'm far from being an expert, but the patch seems to 
be wrong to me. The normal behaviour of kwin is that if "xinerama fullscreen" 
is turned on, fullscreen windows cover only one monitor, otherwise xinerama 
is ignored for this and therefore fullscreen windows cover all screens. So 
what you describe above is intended.

 What exactly is the problem this patch should solve?
