Hm.. I believe I used xinerama-like setup a little bit in the past - but iirc 
I had a lot of problems with yakuake, superkaramba-themes, wallpapers etc. 
acting very strange, and generally everything appearing in places I didn't 
want them to.

Xinerama is probably the way to go for "normal" multiscreen" use, but for 
tv-out used a few hrs. every week I think keeping the screens completely 
separate is nicer. 

But I guess I'll try it out, maybe memory fails me, and I had those problems 
with a different setup.
