[Notion-devel] Multihead: mod_xinerama and 'mirrored' multihead

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hi,

mod_xinerama currently did not support 'mirrored mode' multihead (xrandr 
--same-as) correctly: it created 2 WScreens (1 for each monitor, even when
both monitors took up exactly the same space on the virtual display).

Apart from being generally inelegant and wrong, it also caused some trouble
when an embedded dock would be assigned to the invisible WScreen etc.

I created a patch for mod_xinerama that will merge any overlapping Xinerama
screens into 1 notion WScreen, solving this problem. I committed it to an
'overlap' branch, and would be interested to get your reviews before merging
it to master.
