This is also wrong in ratpoison.texi.

Shawn, I've pushed the fix for this to the git repository under the
"obvious bugfix" rule....

If they are different screens (as opposed to Xinerama, where are
different virtual sub-screens of the same screen), then moving windows
should not be possible between them (as X does not support so). On the
other hand trying to do so should not shut down ratpoison or X.

Hm, exchange_with_frame even has a comment in it that the caller has to
check it, and the comment and this code seems to be from me...
(Don't know if the cmd_swap is also from me, but I almost fear so...)
