I don't understand how anything anyone has talked about can deal in
a sensible way with arbitrary arrangements of monitors on the
frame-buffer -- in fact, I don't even know what basic things like
the existing _NET_FULLSCREEN would mean in this case.

Do you have a plan that handles these complexities?  Could you
elaborate on it?
