As the article points out, the X you use today is the ninth revision and a total redesign at that. They thought about the problem more than you are capable of giving credit.
Also: "Linux going mainstream?" First: Who cares? Your case is also incorrect (or based off of experience with the wrong software) since I can drag and drop the dual monitors in the display configuration screen today. I was able to make this work with a few text file edits in 1998. It's been quite painless for a while and quite possible for even longer.
