I use mod_xinerama, xrandr, and lua script that changes ion's session
string via ioncore.set_paths(). This suffices, as I need to restart ion3
(but not X nor applications) every time I switch xrandr configuration.
This way I have one saved layout for each xrandr configuration I tried.

Also I created lua binding to attach a client to _root_ window ->
"both screens full screen". I use global variable to remember which
frame was the client attached to, thus the function is able to put the
client to "normal" state again.

Note that I use patched mod_xinerama, because original mod_xinerama
doesn't allow ion3 to shutdown/restart properly. The one line change was
posted to the list by someone already.
