In the new Multimonitor dialog on Windows XP, I get an incorrect number of
monitors listed. This is running on my laptop.

If I start OOo with no external monitor attached, the "Multiple monitors"
section of the Slide Show Settings dialog is disabled as expected, indicating
that the number of monitors detected is 1.

If I start OOo with an external monitor attached, and configured to extend my
Windows desktop onto it, the "Multiple monitors" section is enabled, and shows
the following choices:
  - Monitor 1 (primary)
  - Monitor 2
  - Monitor 3
  - All monitors

Monitor 1 and Monitor 2 both select the laptop display and Monitor 3 selects the
external display.

I have confirmed that the Windows GetSystemMetrics(SM_CMONITORS) returns 1 with
no external display, and 2 with an external display, by calling it using the
Python win32 API.

My suspicion was that the resolution is somehow being used to calculate the
number of displays - my laptop display (primary) has resolution 1280x800 and the
external display 1024x768. However testing with a variety of different
resolutions for each display made no difference.

I tried to look at the code in salframe.cxx but it seems the actual number of
monitors is not calculated there (it just uses it to detect whether there is
more than one monitor)
