Dean,
You need to recompile the kdelibs package. When you are recompiling it,
ensure that --enable-xinerama is passed to the configure script.
If that does not help, contact me off the list and I will try to help you.

Xineram in X is already enabled and working just fine.
This was stated in my original message to which Balaji responded.
The problem is that KDE is not allowing me to turn on it's xinerama
awareness.

Where did you get your KDE rpms? If it is MDK's it should have Xinerama
support compiled by default and the Enable Xinerama Support option should not
be grayed out. If it is, then I would suggest that you recompile the RPMS
and ensure that the --enable-xinerama option is turned on.

My understanding is that KDE is not currently fully xinerama aware. One of
the features for 3.1 is to enhance this. You can see who is working on this
as well as get status at
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.1-features.html
There was also a brief discussion about xinerama
Open kcontrol. Under Window Behaviour you will find settings for Xinerama.
