Re: [RFC] _NET_WORKAREA and Xinerama

[Rob Adams <robadams ucla edu>]

We will probably want to make explicit in the spec that struts apply
only to the xineramas that the window setting the strut actually
overlaps.  So edge panels on one xinerama would set a full-width strut,
and the window manager would take this to mean a strut across that
particular xinerama.

So partial-width struts would only be used for corner panels.

Does this sound sensible to people?
