This worked perfectly! Thank you!
Ok.. Except one niggly little thing.. And I realize I'm really nitpicking
here. In my mind things are working; but I thought I would mention it in
case there is a simple solution.
When I have desktop effects enabled, there are no window controls drawn
after I add the 'Virtual 3200 1600'. If I disable the desktop effects, I
cannot enable them with the line added.
Might there be a solution to this?

i have a T42p and an external display connected via DVI on the
Thinkpad's docking station. When X starts, both displays show the same
content (mirrored display). So i first have to switch off one of them
and then switch on again for real dual head display:
xrandr --output DVI-0 --off
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x1200 --left-of LVDS
I also have to add "Virtual 3200 1200" in SubSection "Display" of
Section "Screen" in xorg.conf to get an 1600x1200+1600x1200 resolution.
Video card driver is "radeon"
Best regards,
Kai.
