xinerama + struts question

[Olivier Fourdan]

Jasper,

>From the spec itself, struts apply to the widest logical screen.

http://freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec/index.html#id2769172

"The start and end values associated with each strut allow areas to be
reserved which do not span the entire width or height of the screen.
Struts MUST be specified in root window coordinates, that is, they are
not relative to the edges of any view port or Xinerama monitor."


So if I reuse your ASCII art diagram and apply struts shown with "*", it
should like like that:

+----------------+xxxxxxxx
|****************|*******
|                +-------+
|       A        |  B    |
|                |       |
|                +-------+
|****************|********
+----------------+xxxxxxxx

So it really makes sense to use partial struts here so that 
the struts sets for the monitor on the right don't apply 
to the one on the left!

Cheers,
Olivier.
