In the first test builds with his patches, the nxagent window adapts the Xinerama layout inside the nxagent whenever nxagent is moved over the client-side screen area. Especially check the changes in hw/nxagent/Screen.c, and there the intersect() function. With Ulrich's patches, nxagent has Xinerama support without being in need of a xinerama.conf file. I tested that with Python X2Go (i.e., via nxproxy) and via command line session startups (i.e., all on the same host). There are still some kinks we observe with several window managers, but I am pretty sure that those issues need to be fixed in the window managers (esp. MATE's window manager and also openbox).
