the only way i can imagine that happening is with a multi-input (not multi-
touch!) system with one plasma thread per input queue. iow, doubtful.

what is supposed to happen is this (S for screen, C for containment, V for 
view):

* V1 is on S1, V2 is on S2
* S1 is paired with C1, S2 is paired with C2
* user selects C2 on S1
* C2 takes S1 from C1, C1 temporarily get assigned no screen
* C2 then gives it's old screen, S2, to C1
* we end up with S1 paired with C2 and S2 paired with C1
* screenOwnerChanged signals should be emitted at every step along the way, 
causing the V1 and V2 views to follow along with what's happening.
* V1 is now viewing C2, V2 is now viewing C1

the question is where along this path does it break down.
