It's just how things are in KDE 4.1, it's expected to be better in KDE 4.2
(work on that is still outgoing, it's considered a bugfix, though fixing it
requires a library which is new in 4.2 (Kephal), so it won't be backported
to 4.1).

As far as I know, you *can* drag windows to the second screen, so it's not
like it's entirely useless. You may even be able to manually add a panel to
the second screen. (At least one person reported success with that.)
