When an X-Server is managing multiple monitors, it needs to know their relative
positions in order to properly handle cursor cross-over locations.
The monitor positions are specified in the "ServerLayout" section of the
/etc/X11/XF86Config file as follows:
Each screen is listed, followed by a list of the screens above, below, to the left, and to the
right of it (in that order). Figure 4-2 and the following subsection show an example of
four monitors arranged in a line.
Programs started by clicking on an icon appear on the screen from which you invoked
them. Note that once a program has been launched, it is not possible to move it from one
screen to another.
