Erm, no. xine has an ordinary fullscreen mode, in which it behaves like
it should (and you describe). 

It also has and a separate "Xinerama fullscreen" mode (capital F or -F
at the command line) that uses the xinerama_screens option to decide
which screens to use. When using Xinerama fullscreen with ion in
non-xinerama mode, this works. If ion is in xinerama mode, I get half of
the full-sized window displayed on the physical screen it's launched
from and haven't yet found a way to see the other half. I'd expect ion
to somehow give me a chance to see the part of the window that should be
on the other screen. 

Videos aside, sometimes I'd just like to have one awfully big window,
even while in Xinerama mode. Sadly, I have only a very diffuse idea of
what Xinerama even does for the window manager, but since ion manages to
draw window boundaries across screens, I assume putting a window on both
physical screens shouldn't be impossible?

Xine has options allowing you to specify xinerama screens and window
geometry.  Not that _I_ like xine that much, it's just that I couldn't
get mplayer to do the span-both-monitors thing at all and so ended up
trying xine.

ciao,
