[FEATURE REQUEST] Is it possible to show systray on both monitors? #3

Hi, first of all thank you for your work. You have no idea how much I wanted this extension to work in my system. I spent the last months checking all the forks every few days hoping to find some activity, and I'm grateful I found it. I just wanted to ask: is it possible to show systray on the second monitor? I currently use gnome-shell-extension-appindicator and Vitals, and I'd like them displayed on the second monitor too. In fact, I'd like the second monitor dock to be a copy of the primary one. Is that possible? Does that depend on you or should I post in the respective githubs? Thanks again.

I did try to implement it, however I encountered a lot of issues when plainly copying GObjects representing those indicators.

Thus, I commented out my attempt here: https://github.com/lazanet/multi-monitors-add-on/blob/67af601899ebc52562e42b34037f0b0967f89acd/multi-monitors-add-on%40spin83/mmpanel.js#L40-L42

If you uncomment it you could try toying around and figuring out if something will stick.

Unfortunately, I currently have no bandwidth to research this, so any help is welcome!
