Hi,
This following hint from Aaron J. Seigo should help those with crappy broken
graphics card drivers:

Note that this hack was newly-added in KDE 4.2, it is not available in 4.1.

"Suddenly resizing the Plasma "Add Widgets" dialog went from taking 4
seconds to complete to being just as "quick" as any regular Qt4 dialog!"
So I am not the only one with issues !

Because you're not the only one with crappy buggy graphics card drivers.

The last time I looked, the free, "non crappy, non buggy" driver didn't
support dual monitor operation. Is that still the case ?

Try Nouveau maybe?
Thought so. I need and run dual 1690x1050 monitors for the work I do.
But in any case you have crappy hardware.
What an attitude ! So my HP Dragon HDX9494 with a T8300 processor, 4 GB
RAM, 20 inch LCD, dual SATA hard drives is crappy. Nice.

Since it is the video card that we are talking about, none of that matters.
In these terms you could still have crappy hardware. And you can't count the
cost as an indicator, either :-(

Thought what? Have you actually tried the current versions of nv and
nouveau? It's the easiest way to get your answer. (Hint: I don't know it,
and I can't test myself because I have no NVidia graphics hardware, so it's
no use trying to squeeze an answer out of me.)

The nv driver can clone
just fine. Haven't had any other use case fall upon
me to need to have two separate views, so I can't say what the status of
that is.
