I see you're using Xinerama.  IIUC, this is meant to have the desktop
stretched across all monitors.  I don't want that; I just need the other
monitors as places I can drag windows to/from to be able to have several
apps running and visible at all times.

I don't understand why this would be needed at all, given that I can see
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log that everything about all monitors was accurately
identified.  Not sure what section would actually need specifying.
