	Start fixing https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343858 -
	X servers with Intel 915GM graphics report a connected VGA output
	incorrectly, so applications don't use the whole screen.

	* gdk/x11/gdkscreen-x11.c (check_xfree_xinerama): Sanitize the
	monitors that we get from XineramaQueryScreens().
	(sanitize_monitors): Workaround for an Intel 915GM driver bug,
	where it will return that a VGA output is connected to a laptop,
	even though it isn't.  In the case of just two overlapping
	monitors ("laptop plus cloned external display"), simulate that we
	have only *one* monitor.

+       * The X driver for Intel 915GM chipsets has/had a bug where it would
+       * report that laptops started with a VGA output connected, and most
+       * of the time it defaults to a resolution of 1024x768.  This doesn't
+       * match the resolution of the laptop, which these days is big and fancy.
+       *
+       * Both monitors (the VGA output's and the laptop's) *overlap* in the Xinerama
+       * configuration, since that is how "clone the display" is implemented.
+       * So, we see if there are only two monitors *and* if they intersect --- in
+       * that case, we can be reasonably confident that we can just pick the bigger
+       * monitor, which will be the laptop's display.
+       *
+       * This shouldn't break real setups with "make a big screen out of two monitors",
+       * since those monitors don't overlap in the Xinerama configuration.
+       *
+       * To summarize: in the case of just two overlapping monitors ("laptop
+       * plus cloned external display"), we simulate that we have only *one* monitor.
