Not sure, but

I wrote what I wrote because of what Àlex Fiestas wrote at the end of http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-hardware-devel/2013-August/002360.html and because of as yet unfixed https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317929 which taken together suggested a fix in the form of kscreen-1.1 would be forthcoming late last summer. Yet, kscreen has only reached 1.07x or so some 3/4 year later, and KDE versions since 4.10.5 and krandr replacement by kscreen remain prone to disregard xorg.conf display configuration settings.

We wanted to display a different application GUI on each monitor.

that sounds as if she was after a zaphod setup (to run KDE on one and GNOME on 
the other head, or just different user sessions)

I do different simultaneous user sessions with different display configurations, and often find after the prerequisite kdedrc setting to have xorg.conf respected:

        [Module-kscreen]
        autoload=false

has been set that it has been undone by a version update/upgrade and I have to log out of KDE and either reset it false or restore the whole thing after finding both lines missing from kdedrc.

The OP was rather brief. Maybe http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Multiseat/ is where the OP should start.
