Yep, I guess those arrays are owned by the framework.

I kept this, my reasoning was in the last reply, basically I don't
think Qt distinguishes between Xinerama screens, virtual screens,
and virtual desktops properly.

I removed everything but the GetNumberOfXineramaScreens(), I just don't
know where it would go. Maybe we need a x11-utils.h? or a
xinerama-utils.h?

I've attached a patch that should also fix some of John Poet's problems.
That is, we now try to get the old style GUI video mode, and if this
doesn't work, we default to 640x480. This means you shouldn't end up in
some video mode that is just barely supported by your monitor.
