We fixed some xinerama things in 3.4.6, so if you could give 3.4.6.1 a
try.. that might be enlightening.

This I am not sure.. In 3.4 we are using globbing instead of
"substring matching", so "abcd" shouldn't work, tho "*abcd" should to
me knowledge.. Can you open a bug report for this?

Try moving them there with an Openbox binding (Alt-Left-Drag in the
default config, or the like). If you just click and drag (without the
Alt), then XMMS is moving itself and limiting its position itself.
