Another update: a problem I originally believed was due to
broken/missing drivers in dom0 has solved itself with the new
qubes-gui-vm package (from r3.2-current-testing)!

Since I started using the 6 monitor setup, video playback in
youtube@firefox was extremely slow, and starting to buffer for ~1 minute
after just 3 seconds of playback. When using the motherboard-integrated
Intel video adapter with just 1 monitor, everything was fine, so I
believed there were some problems with dom0's radeon drivers.

Turns out that it may have had something to do with the geometry; now
that the AppVMs are able to see the full rectangle of the 6 monitors
(and not the L-shaped piece of tetris that resulted from the previous
limit of 4 monitors), video playback is as smooth as ever. Inside
firefox, at the diagnostic page "about:support", I still see that
hardware acceleration is disabled, but the difference in video playback
is terrific.

Think of unexpected consequences of a humble arbitrary limit...
