Well, it sounds like you have two different displays configured (you
can prove this by opening up xterms on both screens and issuing "echo
$DISPLAY".

Since you're running two screens, it's very possible that there's no
window manager running on the second screen.  I don't have KDE
installed so I don't know the exact procedure for starting kwin on the
other head, but it's probably something like "kwin --display :0.1".
