so, the menu oddity was my fault.  I changed how bexec() was given the DISPLAY
environment variable and messed up.  Fixed.  In fact, it is a better fix than
my what it replaces.  Now it behaves like we made moving_target behave and the
DISPLAY string is generated once per Screen.

the toolbar weirdness was created when we moved to Brad's BTexture/BColor and
GCCache code which did not properly support multihead.  I have made it work,
not sure if it is in its final form or not.  I have tested it with every style
on my machine, other comments welcome.

Trying to commit these changes as I type this.  My connection is flaky today.

BTW, I have only ever heard from people running one and two head systems, so I
welcome input on whether 3 works correctly (in theory we support as many as X
will give you, but we all know how that works).
