-screen 800x600@2 which means a window of size 800x600 on monitor 2
Seems to me it's logical if the behavior is such that "-screen 0 $W $H"
opens on the primary monitor, while "-screen 1 $W $H" opens on the secondary
monitor. X-clients with DISPLAY=:0.0 will open on the primary monitor while
X-clients with DISPLAY=:0.1 will open on the secondary monitor. Isn't that
how X behaves on dual-headed *nix machines?
