So I finally realized part of what is wrong here, I'm not actually using
Xinerama, I'm using Nvidia's TwinView (which is faster if you have Nvidia
hardware).

It appears that the gtk toolkit and kde are at least aware of this
environment (so it must be possible to figure out), as gtk won't draw menus
across the boundary, and my gf's KDE setup has config options across the 2
screens.

Any thoughts on how hard it would be to add this?

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
