I have applied the patch and rewrote parts of it. Most Notably I split the Xinerama command into four: Xinerama, XineramaPrimaryScreen, XineramaSls and XineramaSlsSize. Also, it is possible to switch between SLS and normal Xinerama so you don't have to restart fvwm to get back to using Xinerama. For more details, have a look at the man page. It would be nice if you could test this since the changes I made were huge. BTW, please include ChangeLog and possibly NEWS and AUTHORS entries with any patches, it's hard to identify the functions that were changes from a patch file.
