[Bryce Harrington <868354@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Allowing two displays to overlap and show different sized viewports of
the same desktop is totally permissible by X11 with RANDR.  I can't
think of any particular use case where you'd *want* it set up that way,
but technically it is a permissible configuration as far as X is
concerned.  It is more of a question of policy.

While I think I can reproduce it under some circumstances with xrandr,
I'm not sure that means we should implement the policy at the X level,
or if it just means we have two config tools that need the same fix.

Bug description:

  the internal screen enabled and placed "under" the external one in the
  xrandr capplet (dunno how that happened but it's the config I got on
  lid close and I can reproduce it manually by dnding the monitor and
  then enabling it), the indicators are duplicated
