But it would certainly be a useful addition to the Xinerama extension to
send "EnterXineramaHead" and LeaveXineramaHead events - IIRC X
extensions can introduce new events. If these events contain the a
head number, interested applications can then easily maintain information
about the set of heads the pointer is in (even for the pathological case
of overlapping heads).
