Bug#434243: Xinerama not working in a sane way

Hi !
I have also some problems with Xinerama and vlc but I will try to be
more precise.
First, having to set which Xinerama screen we want to use through
command line or config file is a pain. Why not just use the same
xinerama screen than the current application is in? Or the screen where
the mouse pointer is currently in? I think that it would be pretty easy,
but I don't know X programming.
Second, I use fvwm. Without Xinerama, vlc is able to do full screen
without a problem. With Xinerama, I still get the title bar. Without
Xinerama, the title bar is present but hidden (not visible). With
Xinerama, I suppose the title bar is visible because the window is first
created, then moved (xcommon.c:1656).
Moreover, the window has no title, no class, no resource name. It is
therefore not easy to ask the window manager to hide title bar. I have
tried to set option 'video-title' with no luck (I have tried with both
video-deco equal to 1 and to 0). The block at xcommon.c:1109 should be
executed even when we are using fullscreen mode (and even if there is no
decoration). The no-decoration part too.
Thanks.
