Xinerama

[Brian J. Tarricone]

just FYI, non-xinerama multiscreen should work properly with CVS 
xfdesktop now, for anyone that wants to try it.  it'll require CVS 
libxfce4util and libxfcegui4 as well.

annoyingly, this will also probably require a recompile of 
xfce-mcs-manager and all its plugins, as the desktop settings plugin 
will need xfce-mcs-manager to be linked against CVS libxfcegui4.

note: there's an odd bug where you have to check and uncheck 'use color 
only' to make an image appear if you've set one (for the first time 
only).  haven't tracked it down yet.

if anyone decides to try it out, please let me know how it goes 
(off-list is fine; if you have problems, the xfce4-dev list is best).
