Agreed. My hacks to deal with rotation in a tablet are an example of
one of these situations created by XrandR.

My thinkpad does this when I connect an external display. Head 1 and
Head 2 overlap
with different sizes! this means that the external display uses 1024x768 while
my laptop display is 1400x1050. It creates some weird situations for maximazing
but I am getting to like it: I can see the external display on my
laptop and at the
same time I have some spare space for other windows that are not shown
in the external display.
