Well, the problem was that Gnome was remembering some settings (or
something) found a reference to deleting the
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen folder. Now everything is working
perfectly.

Nope, definitely wrong.
There is good yast support for it, but that doesn't make it suse only.
There seems to be another general GUI for it called sumf. Use your compiler
if your $DISTRO doesn't ship it. Or use your distro's equivalent tool.

Is Xinerama required?
Well yes, cause if the driver supports it, there is a better chance all
your apps will work on your graphics system.

Maximising a window on the main screen causes it to maximise partially

Hi,
Xinerama is the best thing ever, and is worth pursuing. As a developer,
one tends to have lots of editor windows open, with debugger, and gui
interface open - all at the same time.
It makes life so much easier if one can see the source and destination
document at the same time.
