Issue 149: Xinerama support not working
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=149

New issue report by dukedave:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install xmonad
2. Started using xmonad by placing it in .xsession
3. Opened a terminal

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The terminal is stretched across both screens rather than occupying just
one. Opening a second terminal puts them side by side but pressing mod+w
and mod+e does nothing, confirming xmonad believes they are both on the
same screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xmonad 0.6 from Hackage tarball (Jan 08) with X11 1.4.1
Ubuntu Gutsy Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
During X11 build I see:
   checking X11/extensions/Xinerama.h usability... yes
   checking X11/extensions/Xinerama.h presence... yes
   checking for X11/extensions/Xinerama.h... yes

Ran following in ghci:
   compiledWithXinerama
      True
   openDisplay "" >>= getScreenInfo
       [Rectangle {rect_x = 0, rect_y = 0, rect_width = 1280, 
rect_height =
1024},Rectangle {rect_x = 1280, rect_y = 0, rect_width = 1280, rect_height
= 1024}]

On a desktop with a single window, floating it and then tiling it with
mod+t has no affect (it still spans both screens).

Using Gnome/Metacity the xinerama set up is correctly detected and windows
behave as expected, maximising to occupy one screen.
