I saw Wim's post about new drivers after I posted my issue, so I downloaded and installed v6.

The new drivers did not resolve my problem.

When I switch from PC1 (Win7, with DisplayLink v6 driving a third screen) to PC2, all the windows from the other 2 screens migrate to the DisplayLink window, as though it is the Primary screen.
So on the 2 screens connected to the KVM, with PC2 I see my XP desktop. On the 3rd screen, I see the Win7 desktop, icons, and all running applications. I can't interact with the 3rd screen, since the KVM is switched to PC2.
when I switch the KVM to PC1 again, the Primary screen moves back to screen #1, and all the apps and windows move, too, instead of retaining the placement I arranged.
I know I'm being very wordy, but I'm not sure how else to explain it.
