Thanks for the hint; I think I'm now through;
with the line in xorg.conf about

		Virtual   2944 2944

(2944 is the sum of 1024+1920) and this command:

$ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x600 --rate 60.0 --primary --output VGA --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60.0 --right-of LVDS

I get theese two screens:

    +------------------+-------------------------------+
    |                  |                               |
    |   LVDS           |                               |
    |   1024x600       |                               |
    |                  |                               |
    +------------------+      VGA                      |
                       |      1920x1080                |
                       |                               |
                       |                               |
                       +-------------------------------+

the KDE pannel and icons are in the LVDS and I can drag and drop any X11
application between LVDS and VGA; to stop the VGA output I just use

$ xrandr --output VGA --off

Thanks
