I don't like this much either :)
Other WM's aren't as full featured - they act like KWin does with Xinerama 
Full Screen turned off. XFCE is an exception, which "JustWorks(tm)" in the 
way it's supposed to.

Actually, the window decorations are sort-of a xine bug (which i've sent a 
patch to the developers for) - caused by a workaround required by earlier 
kwins. But the fullscreen only taking half the screen is a KWin bug.

This is the work-around for earlier KWins which is actually incorrect 
behaviour - it checks for kwin, for every other wm it uses it.

See xine-ui patch at http://fredemmott.co.uk/xinerama%20xine%20kde.txt - this 
isn't a practical patch for xine as it breaks under earlier KWin's, but shows 
the problem area.
