In fact, the problem is that xlibs-pic has been replaced by
xlibs-static-pic during the transition from X4.2 to X4.3 (in
experimental, of course;). Metacity correctly tries to links to the PIC
version of the Xinerama lib (thanks to
000_metacity-debian-xinerama-pic.patch) but doesn't build-depend on it.
With my patch is correctly works on my Xinerama setup (big progress wrt
the GNOME 2.2 version).
The other parts of GNOME 2.4 link against the non-PIC Xinerama lib (the
one found in xlibs-dev), which I'm not sure is correct.
Then, it seems there's a (long-standing) bug in gnome-panel, which
doesn't handle well Xinerama-with-different-screen-sizes. I'm trying to
see if it's because there's something in GNOME incorrectly
configured/linked, or if it's simply because the bug is still there.
Currently, I lean toward the latter solution, but I'd like to be sure
before reporting the bug upstream.

PS: toujours pas décidé à nous faire de jolis paquets pour experimental ?
