My guess is that, on Windows, the multihead support is showing up
similarly as how Xinerama works on X11.  So in other words, you have a
single GdkScreen, but multiple logical monitors under that screen.  You
can figure out the number and geometry of these using
gdk_screen_get_n_monitors() and gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry().  Note
that this is a case you need to be aware of on X11 systems as well.
