Great! I am still unsure about a few things that could be done: - Should each screen have a default icon box? - Should icons always be placed in an icon box that overlaps the window's screen first? - Is it worthwhile to prevent icons from being placed between screens if the icon box spans the whole desktop? (I guess not). I already wrote the code to update the icon boxes when the Xinerama layout changes, but it needs yet to be tested.
