I actually don't currently use multi-head, but get this:

I'm actually just tryint to turn off the multiple desktops that currently get created -- seems to be a new feature in 0.9.
In principle that's great, but it should also be possible to turn it off, and -noxinerama I thought might do it (or not).
So there's a bug in not recognizing a documented option, and a question about how to disable the new multiple desktops feature.
I realize the package is sadly orphaned ...
Cheers,
Dave

While it's correct that -noxinerama is not recognized, the reason for my
the odd display -- ten screens long, and not the other desktops, but two
screens showing only the background image, several black screens, and a
duplicated main screen -- the reason for this is the
-ncache 10
setting, a feature still in beta, and predicted to have issues. I've
reported upstream. As my main problem is not a packaging issue, I'm closing.
It's not a good idea, on the other hand, to strongly recommend using
ncache, as the current version does.
