The root window will get a ConfigureNotify event whenever the RandR
setup changes, so applications need only select for that event before
talking to the extension.

Unfortunately I don't use xinerama and I can't test if this bug exists,
so I simply make a forward here.

Subject: Bug#443167: fluxbox does not notice xinerama geometry changes
User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.16 (2007-06-11)
Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.0~rc3-5
Severity: normal
With the XRandR extension, it's possible to add and remove screens
without restarting X. When I do this, fluxbox discovers that it has
more or less screen estate available, but it does not find out about
additional or removed heads. Every time, a head is added or removed,
Fluxbox thus needs to be restarted from the menu:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-September/028432.html
It would be nice if fluxbox could learn automatically about changes
in the Xinerama setup.
