Huh?  I use XFce exclusively on all my desktops, many with multiple
monitors and on laptops which I use for presentations with external
monitors.

Multi-monitor support is less an issue with XFce than it is with a
proper X configuration.  I use both nvidia and ati open source drivers
with XFce and use it to configure connected monitors.  I don't have
custom xorg.conf's on these boxes.

Then again, I use Fedora and CentOS on everything so maybe its a
distribution issue.
