     NAME
          XineramaGetCenterHint - returns a hint for window placement

     SYNTAX
          #include <X11/extensions/Xinerama.h>

          Status XineramaGetCenterHint(
            Display        *dpy,
            int             screen_number,
            int            *x_return,
            int            *y_return
          );

     ARGUMENTS
          dpy  Specifies the connection to the X server.

          screen_number
               Specifies a given Xinerama screen.

          x_return,y_return
               Returns a position about which a window may be centered
               without overlapping more than one physical screen.

     DESCRIPTION
          XineramaGetCenterHint returns a hint about where to center
          the window in order to have a nice layout. This allows us to
          avoid having windows centered on the screen that are split
          across two or more physical screens (frame buffers).

          XineramaGetCenterHint returns True if the given screen is an
          active Xinerama screen, False otherwise. An active Xinerama
          screen is a large logical screen composed of multiple
          underlying physical screens (also called frame buffers).

     DIAGNOSTICS
          BadValue
               screen_number is out of range.

     NOTES
          Currently, all the physical screens managed by the Xinerama
          enabled X server are combined into one active Xinerama
          screen. This means that screen_number should be 0.

          Xinerama is still not an Xorg standard. Thus, the interface
          may still evolve.
