I was thinking of having a new option such as

I think you're referring to yet-another-problem with VirtualScreens.
I agree that there are probably lots of problems to solve there, but
that seems independent from the introduction of VirtualScreensViaXRandR.

Which feature?  VirtualScreens?  or VirtualScreensViaXRandR?
