Sure; glad I can help.  :)

I don't use xinerama so I can't test it, but fullscreen-xinerama seems
straightforward -- just a matter of adding it to after-add-window in
maximize.jl.  So:

(define-match-window-setter 'fullscreen-xinerama
  (lambda (w prop value)
    (declare (unused prop))
    (when value
      (window-put w 'queued-fullxinerama-maximize t))))

And here's a diff on maximize.jl:

But I'm not sure how to do the new-viewport one because I'm not sure how
to check to see if a given viewport is empty.  I may be missing the
proper way to do it, but the closest I've seen to get that info would be
the window-order function.  The problem is that that would involve
switching viewports to each viewport to check, which seems excessive. ;)
Perhaps I could brute-force it by cycling through all windows and
checking their dimensions and location, but if that info is more
available on the C side of things a new function for that might be
better.

Another question here would be what to do if there is no empty viewport
in the current workspace.  Settle on the current (non-empty) viewport,
or switch to a new workspace?  My hunch is the former, but I'm not sure
if that would match what folks would expect.
