Looking great!

One thing I've learned the hard way doing a few presentations is that 
many projectors are 800x600. Some of the images in your slides have 
already been shrunk enough to make it hard to make them out. Put them up 
on the wall in low DPI and 800x600, and they would be barely better than 
abstract colour blurs.

Maybe put the images on their own slides? They're essential, especially 
  the Xinerama one, and they should be as prominent as possible.



Looking forward to seeing the video.
