Look, I get that wm development is hard and drives people to insanity in record time, and I get that crucial parts of the stack are broken, but the fact remains that if your software depends on a broken stack of components you replace or repair the broken pieces until you get something that works (e.g. perhaps getting and using an ATI video card, on which multi-monitor support works perfectly; or finding out what LXDE-Qt are doing to make multi-monitor support work). You don't post blog posts containing a litany of excuses: that just makes you look like you're whining and does nothing but reassure your users that you are not actually trying to fix the problem in any meaningful sense: you're trying to fob the problem off on other people.
After all, all the pieces here are free software and with the exception of the Intel portion none requires specialized hardware knowledge. At no point did you say why you couldn't fix any of the Qt bugs: you just took it as read that of course you wouldn't because that was in a different silo!

For the record, many of the glaring issues with QScreen were fixed by KDE developers.

git shortlog -- src/plugins/platforms/xcb/qxcbscreen.*:
Martin Gräßlin (2):
with 3 more changes by KDE devs. Overall in the xcb plugin I just counted 53 commits by KDE devs. Many of them being screen related.
So I think we do our job there.
