Hi,

I just had a first stab at implementing a Xinerama module as outlined in
Tuomo's 2007-01-17 post[0], see attached mod_xinerama.c.

I get my two screens well enough, but whenever I switch from one to the
other, the non-focused screen "goes blank", ie all windows are unmapped
from it. I take it that this is the standard behaviour for switching
inside an mplex, but couldn't figure out how to prevent it.

Hints?
