I've read this part of the thread with interest. Being a KDE3 user myself
(on AMD64) the one thing I won't sacrifice in the eventual move to KDE4 is:
a triple head setup with 2 separate desktops running compiz fusion on both.
I have two nVidia cards driving this and it works pretty well. I  have
my "main" desktop occupying the left two LCD's in "bigscreen" mode and the
other desktop (i.e. a separate KDE instance) in the right hand 3rd monitor.

Has anyone gotten a setup like this to work in KDE4 as it does in KDE3?

What's the compiz support like in KDE4?

Thanks,
Allistar.
