SystemParametersInfo won't work (yet), but it is the proper way for a program
to set this (and it does account for multiple monitors; according to MSDN,
SPI_SETWORKAREA should use the rect passed to it to decide which monitor to
set).

_NET_WORKAREA does not account for multiple monitors, nor does
_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL. EWMH doesn't have monitor-specific work areas or docks.
Until that is fixed, the solution is probably to take the intersection of the
work area specified in _NET_WORKAREA/_NET_WM_DESKTOP with each monitor's
coordinates.

At the moment, SPI_SET/GETWORKAREA is implemented in user32, but GetMonitorInfo
is in winex11.drv. We probably need to decide which module is responsible for
keeping track of work areas and implement both SPI_SET/GETWORKAREA and
GetMonitorInfo in one place.
