Why are you ruling out Xinerama?

Several months ago I went into sax2 and enabled Xinerama mode in a
side by side config on my laptop.  I was running kde 4.2.2 with
opensuse 11.1 at the time.  It worked fine for what I tested.  I
definitely had 2 screens and the mouse would move from screen to
screen.

I don't have a gui at all on that laptop at the moment so I can't test factory.
