Yes, I didn't change that part. When I added xinerama, I just looked
where it was commented out and enabled it there and then shuffled
lines around.

Yes.

Also correct.

I've removed my .notion/cfg_notion.lua (so it falls back to the stock
one) and copied cfg_defaults.lua into .notion, adding the xinerama
line, and now everything works nicely.

Thank you very much! firefox flash plugin, mplayer, and geeqie all
have a useful fullscreen mode now.

One minor thing: From non-xinerama I'm used to ALT-Tab switching
between my monitors (basically, I had a big screen split vertically in
two). Is there a way to reconfigure keys so I don't need to teach my
fingers ALT-SHIFT-, and ALT-SHIFT-. and can continue using ALT-Tab
instead?

Thank you very much for your help,
 Thomas
