Strange problem with dual monitors

Hi! I have a small problem. I use dual monitors with my i950 video card (laptop).
Everything is ok, but on the laptop's screen KDE panel and wallpaper are cut (they are placed in the left part of the screen (it's right screen), but I may maximize any window and it will use the whole screen). In kdm everything is ok.
Here is screenshot: http://itmo.vingrad.ru/files/2desktops.jpg
Red wallpaper - left screen, blue - the right one. I don't see black area shown on the screenshot, but I see some black area righter the blue wallpaper (but not the cut part of wallpaper or the panel). And I may open there windows.
I've changed laptop's screen resolution to 1028x768, but it's still 1440 x 900. Here is the xorg.conf:

I've tested this config on SUSE 10.1. Everything is ok.
So, it's not KDE problem - it's Kubuntu relative.
If somebody knows the good way of using non-Kubuntu KDE in Kubuntu, please, wright.
