	Then there's the case of which of multiple displays.
	Due to using two displays of different types on my workstation,
	I keep stumbling across various things that don't quite
	work 100% because they assume 1 display per user.

	The last such case that comes to mind was sm, the contributed
	session manager.  Saving and restoring the session state in
	this case should really look at "wherever:0.*" instead of just
	$DISPLAY.  Or should there be a separate $DISPLAY and $SCREEN?
