(e.g.
 1 = 1440x900 = widescreen display
 2 = 1280x1024 = conventional display
 a = 1024x768 = laptop
 b = 800x600 = external projector)

Xrandr 1.2 supports overlapping displays (e.g. the ascii art above);
causing xscreensaver to not chose a correct (completely obscuring) set
of windows, so we have the same reveal issue as in #428797. This may
actually be the same thing, since I was able to switch my xrandr
resolution right now and have xscreensaver choose a (different) wrong
window to blank.

In case of overlap, here's a few thoughts as to the right thing to do:
* Draw one active window, covering the largest rectangle including
both screens (but possibly with dead space);
* Draw one hack on (one) and a second hack or blank screen on (two and not 
one); 
* Draw three hacks, on (one and two), (one and not two), (two and not one).

thanks!
