Low priority? Seriously???
I think it's probably likely that business users make up more than a significant portion of people who use Linux. Adding real multiple monitor support to any non-nVidia hardware is such a huge PITA that even I won't touch it with a ten foot pole, so I'm stuck on a single screen.
I'm glad to see that the option is even in Display, but what's the point of having it there if it's not functional, and the likelihood of it being made functional is "Low"? There really isn't one.
This is just one more thing that makes KDE seem less professional than Gnome. I know most of the KDE developers are volunteers and that this is like biting the hand that feeds you, but I think a core goal of future KDE development should be feature parity with other window managers as well as simplifying features that Windows converts desperately need (like "disable touchpad when usb mouse is plugged in").
If not, I have to question the goal of having a separate window manager at all. What is KDE for if very basic functionality is considered low priority for being fixed/written?
