Thanks very much for investigating this issue and for the patch.

I'll include this in the next X server build.

I don't observe this behaviour on my test machine, EnumDisplayMonitor()
returns TRUE, so I'd be interested to know what version of Windows you are using.

I am a little concerned that I can't find any evidence using google of anyone
else reporting having the MonitorEnumProc callback function return FALSE to
terminate the enumeration causes EnumDisplayMonitor() to return 0, indicating
failure, so maybe there is something else going on here...
