When updating the xinerama due to placement, update which maximal/spanning rect set to use as well (894 bytes, patch)

Description Rob Adams 2005-11-21 20:11:29 UTC 
Window placement in xinerama on 2.13.2 (ubuntu) seems to get contrained always
to first head, regardless of where the mouse is.  Window placement should never
be contrained to a particular head, since the placement algorithm will choose
placements on other empty heads.
