I would rather have the official .deb's be done the "right" way. Doing
things the wrong way leads to hacks and unstable code which can become a
pain in the ass to track down and fix bugs.
1: apt-get source kdelibs
2: cd kdelibs-2.2.1
3: vi debian/rules
4: add "--enable-xinerama" to the ./configure line
5: debuild (need devscripts installed)
I guess the other way around this would be to bug the X guys (not the
Debian X guy, but the upstream X guys) to stabalize the Xinerama libraries.
This is how we got the Xft shared libs done. Once they say it's ok then
the Debian X guy will build it as a shared lib.
