    - Disable xrandr gnome-settings-daemon plugin - always mirror the displays

The proposed patch will allow system admin to add "xinerama" mode as default option. Alternative workaround is to pop up a question asking user to configure the monitor setup ( which could be painful ) .

__self: test patch ( lacking the h/w to currently test this ) .
