Errrheemmm ...  hehe .... uummmm....

It writes "Unmanaged" to [Windows] in kdeglobals from where it is at least  
not read by KWin (which would not place unmanaged windows anyway)
KWin reads XineramaPlacementScreen and ("somehow") uses it to place  
*managed* windows.
I however don't know where a GUI config for this would reside and there's  
no such entry in my entire ~/.kde/share/config dir - which contains  
veeeery old files...

So basically i guess this option is dead (unless it's read somewhere else  
and exported to the root window - but i don't know. My root window looks  
unspectacular in this regard)

On general topic, i'm pretty much with Sebastian - "Make one HUGE screen"  
./. "Make many Screens" should be entirely sufficient*, having different  
placement, maximization and resistance behavior sounds weird and otherwise  
the kcm looks like it crosses krandr.

Cheers,
Thomas

*not sure whether this would lower code complexity, though...
