I'm not motivated to try and see if maybe this time, finally the
majority of window managers might actually not suck so much that we do
not get loads of complaints as long as we have only 2 1/2 users
complaining...
And certainly I am not fine with a patch that I expect to end in a tug
war, where we have a patch "fixing" it one way and 6 months later
another one "fixing" it back to the original behaviour again.
Also the current behaviour is the only way I found that at least makes
the behaviour consistent between different window managers, which is a
value in itself, esp. when it comes to bug reports (like "I'm using
-xineramascreen 1 but the window does not open on screen 1!").
