*** 2) Downgrade to xorg 7.0 since this setup was working before
I would not like to to this, but it's an option. My dual setup worked
out of the box in a previous xorg version. I wonder how I could use
an older xorg in Debian sid.
Ok. A few hours and I got it. Let's reply myself in case someone has the
same problem (and to avoid wasting someone else's time).
The "nv" driver does not support dual head and it might never will. We
have to wait for nouveau (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/).

The problem was not the upgraded xorg. When I previously had this
setup, I had the privative nvidia driver (legacy version) managing
my secondary video card. I lend that video card a few days to a friend,
and when it came back I had changed the nvidia legacy driver (since
I was trying compiz, which BTW, seems to be broken in Unstable right
now).
So I could not start the dual head setup again, and I couldn't use the
new privative nvidia driver with my old card (NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x]).
The "nv" driver doesn't know how to softboot this video card when it's
a secondary
video card.
So, I was trying to use this setup:
* NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (Primary in BIOS) (both nv/nvidia drivers)
* NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (nv driver)
And it seems it was never going to work.
Now I have:
* NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (Primary in BIOS) (nv driver)
* NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (current nvidia drivers)
And it works. Xinerama + Gnome again. No compiz, but I'd rather have
dual head (with xinerama) than a 3d desktop.
Here is the relevant data :

*** 4) Do the int10 initialization myself with another program
(or another kind of initialization).
That was the privative nvidia driver. Let's way for nouveau.
