Yes, it does very nice fullscreen now.
When I load statusbar and dock after xinerama, I do get the wmdockapps back, but not the statusbar.
Also, the statusbar was on the left monitor and on the right hand side of it were the dock apps (also on the left monitor).
Now, the dock apps are on the left hand side of the right monitor and overlay the F3 (start apps) bar, which is annoying because I can't see what I type.
Before, the F3-entry field was above the dock apps.

When I just switched back to default config (no xinerama), the status+dockapps went over both screens; after ALT-K S it's now like before. I must have changed something during the xinerama tests.

I'm a bit confused about key bindings.
Before loading mod_xinerama, I had one thing (sorry, what's the proper term?) on each monitor, which I filled with an xterm each, and I could ALT-Tab between them.
If I started another app, e.g. firefox, it was added to one of the two things and ALT-K N/P switched between the windows on one monitor.

When loading mod_xinerama, each monitor started with two things, or a split thing, I don't know how to tell the difference, and neither ALT-Tab nor ALT-K N/P allow me to switch between them. When I start a firefox, I can ALT-K N/P to it though. I'm missing something, but what, and why the change just because of mod_xinerama?
