If we want to go this way, we have to define clearly what VirtualScreens
should provide. At this time, sharing the same config file for different
size screens is for example de facto problematic (workspace manager
position and other geometry settings). As sharing the same workspaces is
a bit weird...
Moreover, the actual implementation of this feature really complicates
the code.
