What is stopping you using the GDK API to get the extents of the
monitors from the unified "screen" and say positioning the speakers
notes on one monitor and the presentation on the other?

To be honest, I thought Oo.o did this already - my laptop has Intel
GPU so uses the new world order of xrandr, and I'm sure I've done this
with oo.o.
