right, i see... that seems to be a limitation/bug with the Kdrive X server.
See http://www.handhelds.org/hypermail/gpe/55/5530.html (2. describes the kdrive
behaviour)

As long as th X server does that correctly this is possible in GPE for sure. It
might be worth taking a look at the Kdrive sources and check if this behaviour
is easy to fix. If you have plenty of resources you might try to use Xorg, but
i'd really recommend to check Kdrive first.
