Bug#434243: Xinerama not working in a sane way

Hi !

I have  also some problems with  Xinerama and vlc  but I will try  to be
more precise.

First,  having to  set  which Xinerama  screen  we want  to use  through
command  line or  config  file is  a pain.  Why  not just  use the  same
xinerama screen than the current  application is in? Or the screen where
the mouse pointer is currently in? I think that it would be pretty easy,
but I don't know X programming.

Second, I  use fvwm.  Without  Xinerama, vlc is  able to do  full screen
without a  problem. With Xinerama, I  still get the  title bar.  Without
Xinerama,  the title  bar  is  present but  hidden  (not visible).  With
Xinerama, I suppose the title bar is visible because the window is first
created, then moved (xcommon.c:1656).

Moreover, the  window has no title,  no class, no resource  name.  It is
therefore not easy  to ask the window manager to hide  title bar. I have
tried to set  option 'video-title' with no luck (I  have tried with both
video-deco equal to  1 and to 0). The block  at xcommon.c:1109 should be
executed even when we are using fullscreen mode (and even if there is no
decoration). The no-decoration part too.

Thanks.
