It already uses those functions (presumably since the non-Xinerama X
functions would report boht physical screens as being one large
screen, which would botch text placement), but has a hardcoded value
of 0 for which screen to use. I just made another binary with a
hardcoded 1 instead.
The only thing requiring something like real work (besides finding
documentation for the Xinerama functions, which seems near impossible)
is building a way for the user to pass that extra parameter, since all
this code is in a library (libxosd) and just adding new parameters to
random functions probably would break backwards compatibility.
