I think you misunderstand. Xorg.conf works as advertised -- I've had the dual
heads for many months.

But the 'theme for kdm' activated via desktop-base is only only screen 1 of 2
whereas screen 2 still has the default kde background. I would like the theme
to extend to screen 1 and 2.

Thanks, Dirk
