Hi list !

A quick reaction to :

Dual-/multi-head support? After lots of inquiries you rudely brushed
that subject aside because "xinerama isn't really useful" and made it
pretty clear how much you valued the community:

,----
DR> I wont accept any xinerama patches, if you like to use xinerama
DR> until proper multi-screen support is implemented, you have to patch
DR> things.
`----

Reading at the xorg-devel mailing list, David made the right decision to wait.
Xinerama will sooner or later be deprecated in favor of Randr++ pushed
by Keith Packard. See [1].

This solution is said to be both cleaner and easier to use and here
for foreseeable futur.

A randr++ plugin for compiz would be very welcome ! I may have a look
at it, I need to refresh my C skills !
