This works (xterm loads on the 3rd monitor), however KDE doesn't appear
to be running on the 3rd monitor, so there is essentially no window
manager, making it pretty useless. :(

From what I can obtain from Google, KDE4+ doesn't support separate X
displays like this. I attempted to use the script at the bottom of this
forum post:

http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=12180&start=30

However it pops up a message saying KDE is already running on this (the
3rd) display, but I see no task bar or window decorations/title bars
whatsoever.
