Have you tested and confirmed that this is the case? i.e. is it something we can rely upon?

I don't know yet how one would implement it under X11, but it should be possible. Given the above then the next tweak of View::setUpViewAcrossAllScreens() could then take this info, but... only if its actually implemented so we'd need a fallback.
