Description Luiz Angelo De Luca 2007-11-21 18:37:31 UTC 
Version:           desconhecido (using KDE 3.96.00 (KDE 4.0 RC1), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.12-0.1-default

Even specifying the DISPLAY, kde4 apps always open in DISPLAY 0.0

DISPLAY=:0.1 /usr/bin/konsole  #kde4      - konsole open on DISPLAY 0.0
DISPLAY=:0.1 /opt/kde3/bin/konsole  #kde3 - konsole open on DISPLAY 0.1

There is only one instance of Konsole in KDE4 and you very likely have already one running on 0.0, that's why the "another" one opens there too - it just opens another window in the already running Konsole. Doing e.g. "DISPLAY=:0.1 kwrite" works fine.

Given that non-xinerama dualhead is unmaintained in KDE, I suggest switching to a xinerama-like setup.

I think it might be useful to have a way of starting new instances in a separate process.  gnome-terminal features an option to force a new process.
