Yes.

I believe there was and possibly still is a series of calls one can do with X-11 based libraries to determine if this problem exists on the target. Didn't dig into that either.

You didn't look at the links.

The desktops don't bother to fill in RightOf or LeftOf in the X config 
files. Libraries that process those have no earthly idea which monitor 
really has (0,0) per the desktop. This is a widely know problem with Gtk 
that has gotten worse under Wayland-Westin.

No need to worry about it. I'm making EDGE_FULL_BACKGROUND, 
EDGE_MULTI-BACKGROUND, TAB_LIST changes to CsScintilla. It will just be 
rough if I want to merge anything from Scintilla in going forward but 
once I get these merged in I have everything I ever wanted/needed for 
base editor functionality.

Gtk had a good run, but that run is over.
