All GTK+ apps are Xinerama-aware at some level: menus and other pop-ups
won't cross a xinerama limit for example. Maybe Xgl/Compiz should take
advantage of that and declare its rotating cube as 6 xinerama screens,
to have windows crossing 2 faces behaving correctly ? (I don't know if
it's even possible).
