Hi Anders,

Following your idea, here's an updated patch that works equivalently.
Please let me know what you think.

My pleasure!

Hm... but what if a second display is in the negative coordinate space?
How would you place a frame on it programmatically?  In any case I'll
try to build the X11 version and see how it does it -- I wasn't aware
that it still works on Mac OS.

Cheers,
Charles
