assiging this to the package kde-systemsettings. please let me know if that is incorrect.

Also are you still having problems with this issue? I noticed the last response was in November of 2008.

Thanks and have a great day,

Jonathan Jesse

I believe the issue is Xinerama vs RANDR. Disabling Xinerama will probably workaround the bug (at least it does on 9.04)
