Re: Display option in multiscreen

["bharat tewari" <bharat tewari wipro com>]

but firstly it needs to saved somewhere and the best place to save it is
in the restart command where-in the applications save their display
environment too. And then while restarting, the restart command gets
executed and the applications start in their correct head or as jacob
suggested if the display screen is not available fallback to the default
screen.
does that make sense?
