About Xinerama, I tried it again and I found out the gnome WM has
improved and it can now maximize to a single screen. there are still
problems like ignoring the docked bar when maximizing, but I guess the
flexibility is much better than using dual head without xinerama
(where you can't move applications from one screen to another).
