You will probably find that this is due to the QT 2 libraries are not compiled
with Xinerama support. This probably will not be changed in woody. As for
sid, QT3 (and KDE3) is currently compiled with Xinerama on i386. When KDE3
enters sid, the optio should work. You may be able to get Ivan to enable
Xinerama in Qt 2 for sid, but it may not be worth the hassle when KDE is just
around the corner.
