{- $usage

This module allows you name Xinerama screens from XMonad using their
physical location reletive to each other (as reported by Xinerama),
rather than their @ScreenID@ s, which are arbitrarily determined by
your X server and graphics hardware.

Screens are ordered by the upper-left-most corner, from top-to-bottom
and then left-to-right.

Example usage in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@ file:

> import XMonad.Actions.PhysicalSCreens

> --
> -- mod-{w,e,r}, Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3
> -- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3
> --
> [((modMask .|. mask, key), f sc)
>     | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [0..]
>     , (f, mask) <- [(viewScreen, 0), (sendToScreen, shiftMask)]]
