Summary: Xinerama support

Initial Comment:
Specifically, I'm looking for features such as XFwm has: 
constrain maximized windows to one head (unless 
specified otherwise by the user), force popups/transients 
to one head or the other, edge resistance between 
monitors (maybe, if it's not too difficult). This is currently 
the only thing keeping me from using IceWM as my 
primary WM.

The current CVS (icewm-1.2: icewm-1-2-BRANCH), now has
experimental support for Xinerama.

(nvidia, running xawtv on second 15" monitor right now).

Please test, if you can and report bugs and suggestions.

I'll second that! As I use tv-out as monitor 2, I currently
just restart X with tv out enabled and run wmaker when I
want to play a dvd or mpeg and then restart X back into IceWM. 

I've frequently considered doing it myself but as I know
enough to _read_ C with difficulty (very very little C++) I
don't think extending even a "simpler" wm like IceWM is
quite within my abilties.

That said, there's alway the wmaker source for reference on
how Xinerama works and code snippets, which could help. Hey,
maybe one long boring weekend... (if only I got them...)

Anything I can do to help, captnmark? Doco, guinea-pig, etc?
I run Debian testing (sarge) with bits of unstable (sid),
and the NVidia drivers using TwinView to get xinerama across
my main monitor and tv-out.

I vote for this too.  I've used IceWM since I've used Linux
(many years), but I have to switch away from it until
Xinerama support works.
