9.1 Xinerama

StumpWM will attempt to detect Xinerama heads at startup (and at no other time.) Heads are logically contained by screens. In a dual-monitor Xinerama configuration, there will be one screen with two heads. Non-rectangular layouts are supported (frames will not be created in the 'dead zone'.) And message windows will be displayed on the current head-that is, the head to which the currently focused frame belongs.
