Hmmm....Xinerama works just fine on Ubuntu.  I wonder if the the option is
now either locked to "enable" or if Trinity may just be using Qt's
underlying Xinerama support at this point (my guess).

Did you get a chance to try modifying kdelibs/kdecore/kipc.cpp yet?  I
will commit the 3.5.12 version change along with that file if the build
problem was fixed.

Thanks!
