Dual Monitors

[palmer]

First of all, I tried searching, but everything just told me to use xinerama

I have a NVIDIA FX-5200
I run KDE
I use twinview
I added "xinerama" to my use flags
I have successfully set up dual monitors

When I ran mandrake, there was a 4th tab in the display, called dual-monitors
That is where all of this was configured...

I need to be able to drag apps between monitors, so twinview or xinerama is needed (I think...)

The problems I am having are:
Maximize goes accross both monitors
The task bar goes accross both monitors
All apps start up in the middle of both monitors

When in Mandrake, there was an option to controll all of these options

I have recomplied xorg-x11 and kde for support for xinerama
When xinerama is on (Option "Xinerama" "On", under server flags), then KDE says that it cannot resize the screens

Thanks

Here is the README for nvidia's drivers. See section I on twinview, but here is a choice quote:

if you are using xinerama, you need to recompile many applications to use the xinerama flag so they will respect the multiple screens (and not start centered). Many applications support this, if i'm not mistaken.

I think that it kind of works
When I resize a window, it will "snap" to middle part, meaning that something must realize that I have two screens

Does anyone know how to get maximizing to only go accross one screen?
