Comment (by axeld):

 I can't follow PulkoMandy's argument at all, though. Why would that be a
 nightmare? It really makes no difference at all.

 Anyway, the API is not really sufficient either way, as some things (like
 cloning) should be done in the driver, not the app_server. Furthermore,
 there are screen configurations, where the app_server would benefit
 (albeit slightly) from a contiguous framebuffer when it actually spans
 this way over the monitors (I'm not sure this is worth taking into
 account, though -- it might make a difference with 3D acceleration,
 though).
