Moving that change from libXinerama into the Xserver code is actually
a good idea. Maybe that is also possible for all the other changes in

Yes, but for now I'd like to fix up the current, broken packages we have, including 3.5.0.x. Thus https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/pull/19
Also, I would like to get rid of that xinerama.conf and turn it into
some sort of FIFO socket.
We are indeed working on dropping as many of nx-libs's bundled libraries as possible. We replace them with the system's versions. Often this means modifying files under nx-X11/programs/xserver/ like the one you mentioned. I am not sure what the schedule is for libXinerama, but I assume it is on the list. All this work is being done on the nx-libs 3.6.x branch. http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.6.x https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/tree/3.6.x
Hopefully someone can comment on the timetable for dropping the bundled libXinerama. Still, just because we dropped libXinerama doesn't mean we will immediately release nx-libs 3.6.0; We will probably drop other libraries 1st.
Ok, I have not seen a detailed list of the planned steps, does such a thing exist?
There is no such list. We coordinate via IRC (#arctica on Freenode).
The current phase is clean-up-clean-up-clean-up. The other current
phase is replace libNX_X<*> by libX<*> where possible.
Btw, a list of already cleaned up stuff can be found here:
