The problem mostly is that the desktop settings do not work too well for=20
xinerama. This means I'm using only background images that are precisely=20
1280x1024 and set to tile these. Every other setting than tiling doesn't=20
work well, since it doesn't know about the two monitors. E.g. the center=20
option puts it in the center of the combined screen instead of in the=20
center of both screens.

I will test this as soon as I can and get back to you with it. Thanks. If=20
this works, then I can use my other machines for quick email checks and=20
so on. That the background isn't set nicely is of course not as=20
important.
