Hrm. I'm not so sure no-one is as small a group as you might think it is. Xinerama has some fatal flaws (some of these might be fixed by now as it's been literally many years since I tried Xinerama) such as no accellerated graphics if one of the displays doesn't have accelleration. In fact I think there were all kinds of problems with anything but 2D with that respect. But the most important flaw is in that I don't want windows spread across screens. It just sucks to try to use a window where half of it on a different screen, and then try to (I guess what would be called half-)maximize a window to only one half of the Xinerama screen again, due to the above about windows split across screens. b.
