>> Does anyone know why 'nvidia-graphics-drivers' is on this ticket at
all?

Sure. It was noticed first by nVidia users. Not too surprising since
multi-monitor users are probably disproportionately nVidia users.

Also, the closed source nVidia drivers always seem more culpable (and us
for using them).

It's hard to believe that the Xorg developers never ran into this bug.
However, I just searched their mailing list
http://www.x.org/wiki/SupportMailingList and there is only the note
"Does anyone still use Xinerama?"

I'll post our problems there.
