Hmmm. Properly written Xlib programs can display themselves on any
display (screen) specified by the user. I'm guessing that GTK+ only
allows the program to show itself on the default screen (probably the
one pointed to by $DISPLAY). My question is 'Could there be a mechanism
to tell GTK+ to display everything on a different screen?' (from within
the same program)
