Exactly because it is not frozen yet, I thought it was a good time to
propose additions to it :-/

Well, since Xinerama was included in X11R6.4, I would consider it de facto
standard, even if the documentation is a bit lacking... but even if not, the
direct
Xinerama interaction is limited to gdkdisplay-x11.c. The rest of the code is
interfacing to the "heads" API of GdkScreen.
