Description:   Opened: 2002-07-04 00:40 0000 
Fluxbox currently requires a specific configuration directive to enable
xinerama
(X extension to stretch a single window manager across multiple screens)
support. It's currently necessary to to edit the ebuild file to enable support
for xinerama (--enable-xinerama). I'd imagine that there are other programs out
there, especially window managers with similar requirements. It would be nice
to
see a new USE variable to allow the ebuild packagers to automatically configure
support for such.

I think the best choice would probably be 'multimon' though 'xinerama' should
be
just as clear to people who've had to configure it.

-r4 of fluxbox will have xinerama always enabled... we don't want to require
users to recompile everything when they get a 2nd monitor, and I don't see a
reason to leave this capability out by default.
