Well, this *can* be a useful addition if we find a real case when
it is needed. Than we can try to persuade Mark Vojkovich to add this
functionality to X (BTW, what is interesting -- he also uses fvwm). But
there must be some real, hard arguments, otherwise this definitely
wouldn't pass the X Xinerama group.
