workspace switching only affects the primary monitor and
windows on other monitors are unaffected.
- In the overview, show windows for each monitor on that monitor
rather than scrunching them oddly onto the primary monitor.

mouse cursor at hot screen corners even when there are adjacent
monitors the cursor could slide onto.

monitor boundary.

windows the user has around.
