Yeah, I think we've got enough functionality for version 1.2. If we are
going to have this kind of communication visible to applications, it
might be nice to wrap it up in a pretty package instead of exposing them
to raw monitor communications.

Please feel free to work out the details of what you'd like and we can
look at including them in future RandR versions.
