Hi all,

I was staying up way too late last night, trying to finish the
backdrop-xinerama-stretch feature for xfdesktop, and having a hard time
testing it (only one monitor), so I figured, hey, just because I only
have one, doesn't mean I can't fake GDK into thinking I have two.

Anyway, it's a cheap symbol-override hack, but it works.  It takes your
single monitor and divides it in half, vertically.  So if you have one
1600x1200 screen, you end up with two 800x1200 screens.  Not useful for
anything but testing, but useful enough for me...

Compilation and usage instructions are in the file.  Hope someone finds
it useful.
