I think that removing the hard dependency on xinerama is a good idea, and I like being able to specify the options manually.
I believe there is some value in being able to use xinerama if it's available, though. It just seems unfriendly to force the user to enter all the monitor configuration if we can load it. To me, it seems parallel to the -f parameter - the user can manually specify dimensions identical to their workspace area, but if we can load it nicely, why not do it for them? Note that I'm not suggesting that we require xinerama, but if it's available, why not give the user an option to use it?
