[dev] [dwm] Wrong monitor positions after removing leftmost monitor

[Santtu Lakkala]

Hi,

there is an annoyance with dwm where it does not re-adjust monitor 
positions upon screen removal, and if the leftmost screen is removed 
some or all windows may be placed outside the viewable area. (The bug 
can be worked around by first moving the screen to the right side and 
remove only after that, but I always forget to do that :)

The attached patch removes some ifs to adjust monitor coordinates also 
in the removal case.
