Yes, I'm using quartz-wm.  Is there some option to have it always place
windows in the visible screen areas?


Not that I'm aware of.

  I didn't see any such option (or
defaults) in quartz-wm(1) or Xquartz(1).  I see Xserver(1) mentions the
option +xinerama and says the Xinerama extension is disabled by default.
However, Xinerama is listed in the output of xdpyinfo.  Does this mean
that the extension is loaded and enabled, or just that it is installed on
the system and available?

The Xserver documentation is misleading in this case. For X11.app, Xinerama is enabled by default. (XDarwin enables it by default if multiple screens are present. This is not ideal since screens can later appear so XDarwin will follow X11.app in the future and always enable it.) XDarwin and X11.app don't handle multiple physical screens properly at all without Xinerama.

I suppose you could be saying that it is _theoretically_ possible for
quartz-wm to enforce such a policy.

Yes. I don't write window managers, but it seems like this would be a nice option.
