Xrandr(3) doesn't provide a simple interface to manage multiple screens, Xinerama(3) is much more convenient and much simpler as well. If Xrandr(3) is changed accordingly to provide a similiar simple interface, I'd switch to it. But currently we'd end up with much more code, if we'd stick to Xrandr(3) only, and the code would look very similiar to how Xinerama is implemented on top of Xrandr nowadays. Kind regards, Anselm
