Xinerama and kubuntu

Dear list,

I have the following problem using Xinerama with kubuntu (dapper. kde 3.5.1).

I use my laptop with an external monitor. Xinerama seems to work fine when kdm 
is started. However, when I start kde, it crashes after some time and I come 
back into the login screen of kdm.

When trying to correct this problem I tried the following:
* When I create a fresh user and try the above, I still get the problem 
described above. So it does not seem to be caused by my init-files.
* When I log into a failsafe session and start ksmserver everything seems to 
work fine.

Where should I look? The logs don't seem to provide any information?

I have attached the xorg.conf file.

Thanks for your help.
