Most desktop graphics cards today have more than one output connector. Pretty much any laptop lets you connect an external monitor in addition to the LCD panel.

You're seriously trying to tell us that the apparent multi-head issues are so supremely uninteresting to KDE developers that no one can be bothered to hook up a spare monitor to their graphics card – even for ten minutes – to see whether there is anything to those reports?

see below in this thread, multi-head is different from multi-screen. Multi-screen works just fine, I use it any time I attach a projector to my laptop :D

Multi-head is not used a lot, there are few use cases for it. It's not a complete obscure use case either but still the demand for it is so low nobody is capable or willing to step up and fix it. You can blame either developers or users for that - I guess you should keep in mind that there are simply more pressing matters. Most developers have about 100 times more things they'd like to do and fix than time on their hands :D
