Multiple screen/display support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to see some form of support for allowing notifications to be posted to 
different screens.
This could be global or on a per app basis with some intelligence.

Global:
All notifications appear on screen A or screen B.

Per App:
Display notifications on the screen that the application is in.
Be intelligent about it too by following the app around. So if the 
application's main window is on 
screen A, display on screen A, if we then move the window to screen B, then 
display on screen B.

When the application has windows on more than one screen then just use the 
screen containing 
the front most window if active. If the application is in the background then 
use the applications 
default screen setting.

To handle the situations where the main window might be crossing 2 screen 
boundaries , display 
on the screen with > 50% of the window. If it just happens to be exactly 50/50 
then pick one at 
random just for fun. (or not).

Perhaps this can be developed in stages.
1) Global screen selection
2) Per application screen selection. No intelligence, just uses the screen 
selected
3) Intelligence, follow around, etc

The growlnotify command line app could also have an extra argument for choosing 
which screen 
to post the notification on.

Kind Regards

Ben

The “global” version already exists. It's a display option.
