Screen spanning is an X feature, not a KDE/Gnome/Whatever feature.. 2. Samba is only used to see windows machines, or act as a windows machine on a network. if you have a dual boot system you're no longer running windows on that system and as such Samba is of no use at all.. it's all about mount points and filesystems..
