Absolutely! We all agree this is the right way for it to be implemented.
The Xinerama support in the quinnstorm fork was alway temporary, but it
was required for a large percentage of users so it was thought necessary
in the mean time as compiz was pretty much unusable for me in DH
environment before the temporary patches.

We are all lookingforward to KP's super fancy randr++. I've been
following the specs thread with interest on the xorg ML.
