KDE newbie problem: desktop Panel reserving space on the other screen!

["Brendan Kidwell-2" <user=1552@nabble.blu.org>]

 I've been using Ubuntu with GNOME for almost a year now. This week on my 
laptop and on my work desktop I switched to KDE. 

On my work desktop, I have two screens, and I'm using xinerama to control 
that. I'm using the KDE 3 that's released with Ubuntu 7.10, not a KDE 4 
beta. 

If I put a KDE panel (the main panel, a new one, whatever) on the TOP of 
screen 1: 
* The panel reserves a certain vertical space on the top of screen 1 and 
paints itself there. App windows can't be placed in that space. (okay) 
* The panel ALSO reserves the same vertical space on the top of screen 2 and 
leaves it as whitespace. App windows can't be placed here either. (BAD) 

If I put a KDE panel on the BOTTOM of screen 1: 
* The panel reserves vertical space on the bottom of screen 1, paints 
itself. (okay) 
* The bottom of screen 2 appears to behave NORMALLY. Windows can be placed 
there. (okay) 

Try placing the panel on Screen 2 and the inverse happens (Screen 1 
misbehaves). 

What's going on here? Has anyone seen this and do you have any idea how I 
can fix it? Should I just put all my panels on screen bottoms and wait for 
KDE 4?
