"-lXinerama" is wrong, or?

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi Benny,

Couldn't we just link statically to libXinerama.a ?

It's just 4Kb on my system and that would be more "user friendly"... Not
everybody has the root access to create the .so in /usr/X11R6/lib/

This way, we could also make Xinerama enabled by default when the lib 
is present. 

Cheers,
Olivier.
