Yes, at the X server side, Xinerama is deprecated in favour of XRandR.
But using the Xinerama X11 protocol to query a XRandR-configured X 
server seems OK (I may be mistaken).

Yes for top-level windows that go fullscreen on their current monitor. 
Some preparatory work is still needed for embedded videos.

Also, for supporting --qt-fullscreen-screennumber (user forcing another 
monitor to be used), it seems applications still need to query the X 
server directly and move the video to the right screen.
