1. We don't patch Xinerama. Rather, nx-libs, our "X server", includes
an outdated version:
nx-X11/lib/Xinerama

Maybe my wording was a bit misleading. What I meant was this patch:

0202_nx-X11_enable-xinerama.full.patch

This indeed patches the libXinerama that is built from the nx-x11 tree
(in nx-X11/lib/Xinerama/Xinerama.c). And that's the one that is
distributed in x2go and provided via LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have xinerama
emulation.

Moving that change from libXinerama into the Xserver code is actually a good idea. Maybe that is also possible for all the other changes in libNX_X<*>.

Also, I would like to get rid of that xinerama.conf and turn it into some sort of FIFO socket.

2. We are indeed working on dropping as many of nx-libs's bundled
libraries as possible. We replace them with the system's versions.
Often this means modifying files under nx-X11/programs/xserver/ like
the one you mentioned. I am not sure what the schedule is for
libXinerama, but I assume it is on the list. All this work is being
done on the nx-libs 3.6.x branch.
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.6.x
https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/tree/3.6.x

3. Hopefully someone can comment on the timetable for dropping the
bundled libXinerama. Still, just because we dropped libXinerama
doesn't mean we will immediately release nx-libs 3.6.0; We will
probably drop other libraries 1st.

Ok, I have not seen a detailed list of the planned steps, does such a
thing exist?

There is no such list. We coordinate via IRC (#arctica on Freenode). The current phase is clean-up-clean-up-clean-up. The other current phase is replace libNX_X<*> by libX<*> where possible.

If you are available for coding, maybe you feel like working on the Xinerama change?

Best regards,
Mike
