Why not just check the rectangle against the screen rectangle? That sounds simpler and safer to me.

I'm not sure that I follow. Are different screens guaranteed to have different rectangles?

If they don't have different rectangles, then they are displaying the same contents. A window isn't located on a "screen", it's located at a coordinate in an abstract space. If a point is in a screen rectangle then it's visible on that screen. If it's in multiple screen rectangles, then multiple screens are displaying it (which would be the case if you're mirroring content... I imagine xinerama can do this). So if two screens *do* have the same rectangle, then they ought to have the same gap (and really should hold the same workspace). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
