I suspect that would probably be more intuitive, but I opted to maintain the 
same behavior for this patch.  If we want to change the default aligning 
algorithm, I guess I'd rather do that in a follow-up patch.

Yes, I've tested against RHEL6.  I don't think we actually care about the 
stability of qsort_with_data here because (1) we already use qsort_with_data in 
spice-gtk in exactly the same way, and (2) displays_cmp() actually checks for 
the case where the distance to origin is exactly the same and then falls back 
to comparing monitor IDs.  So the sort should be stable even if the function 
g_qsort_with_data is not guaranteed to be stable.
