I agree.
If configure finds xinerama and -f is used then use all the screens
like the patch.

For multi mon without -f
It seems like the only thing left is to decide on the syntax.  I think
we have seen at least 3 formats.
The only think I didn't like about some of them is the inability to
specify which screen is the primary.
Since we don't need to be "user friendly" for this advanced option
maybe we should use a format that most flexible and easy to parse.
