Currently there is no *real* multiscreen or Xinerama support in
cde... I did some work on this at XiG, and have the code that would
support this via a new DtXinerama library.  I also did a lot of work
on dtwm to support true multiscreen (multiple X11 Screens, not
Xinerama).

It is on my long list of things to do, when I get some time.

Yes, dtwm has -multiscreen, but it is quite broken and mostly
useless.
