I migrated from the desktop environment Xfce, using the window manager xfwm, to the window manager openbox, without a desktop environment at all. Regarding this migration IIRC I fortunately was jobless and could customize my chosen WM the way I need it, without any issue. Now that I'm luckily working more or less full-time again, I don't know, if migrating to a 200 ;) % customized window manager environment is worth the effort, or even possible at all ;). Actually regarding dual-head usage, a dirty (IOW not really good) script helped me a lot. IIRC I already wasn't jobless when I wrote my dirty xrandr script, but fortunately I migrated from a DE to a WM when I was jobless. IMO "time" is very important. IOW I don't know if you could work around the issue you experience by using a script. If you should have the time to test it, then simply try it. If not, consider to get in contact with upstream of your chosen desktop environment. Actually I decided against helping to improve Xfce, but migrated to openbox without an desktop environment.
