    Sorry, what do you mean -- "FVWM works with Xinerama", or "FVWM supports
Xinerama"? By the latter I mean -- FVWM knows that it e.g. shouldn't center
popups on the global screen, making them split between physical screens.
We are using 2x2 screens Xinerama setup under XFree 4.0.2, and FVWM's
Xinerama-ignorant behaviour is a bit irritating.
