Fixed in 4.3.0-5 as stated many times over the last few days. Upgrade via rawhide. See list archives for my detailed 4.3.0-5 announcement 2 days ago. >Xinerama had problems under XFree86 4.2 though.

If red-carpet hangs, then it is a Red Carpet bug most likely. Not all applications are Xinerama friendly or aware. Your best bet if having any problems with any application under Xinerama, is to report the problem to the application author. -- Mike A.
