It is still broken, but less so than 3.5.10. KDE4 seems to have some
split-brains problem. Maximizing does work (restricts itself to one
viewport), but the thing doesn't seem to know it is working with a
Xinerama'ed display everywhere it should. For one, it doesn't detect that
it has two viewports in many places, like the desktop manager...
