There was simply a rename screen -> rootwin, viewport -> screen, because the terms seemed to be confusing to some users. (Screens and root window are normally the same thing in Xlib, but if Xinerama is used, there can be additional "viewports" corresponding to physical screens on the sole root window. And to add to the confusion, Ion effectively creates new virtual root windows for all xinerama screens. I prefer separate screens really separate.) -- Tuomo
