Yes, this improves the situation. Thank you!

One difference: The dock apps are on top in full screen mode for
geeqie and firefox flash plugin, but not on top of mplayer full
screen.

General xinerama complaint remains ;)
I still don't know why the dock icons do not reduce the size of the
other windows (like without xinerama) -- they even are on the top of
the edit bar you get with F3 or F4. Also, the status bar doesn't
appear.

Here's the diff for the config I use to the default:

In case you're wondering about mod_sp, if I leave that in I get:
Notion startup error log:
