I can hear the masses screaming, *rahhhh*, *rahhhhh*

Anyway.

I have some code to add Xinerama support to Blackbox... (still waiting
for the cheering to die down).  For those of you who don't know what
Xinerama is it allows multiple monitors to be used as a single monitor. 
The problem is things like Blackbox placing windows across window
borders and menus spanning windows and things like that.

If anyone would like to test it I'm posting it on my webserver (please
no trying to take it down, that would make me very unhappy) at
http://xentac.net/~jchu/black.  I basically modified the 0.62.0 Debian
package.  You have the choice of taking the source or an easily
digestible Debian package.  Be careful though guys, the Debian package
will be overwritten on the next update (I suggest you use your favorite
package manager and set blackbox on hold at the moment).

Mostly just stress testing now.  I haven't yet tried running it without
Xinerama turned on.  If it broke anything there it'd be a very quick
fix.

I've also only tested it on the screen 0 is left of screen 1 scenario
(mine).  I'd like to hear results of other Xinerama setups.

I babble too much.  Go forth and test.
