📄 Description

On dual monitor scaling configuration, seems that obtaining the Monitor position using GDK yields the wrong results - both bars end up on the same monitor.

We can use monitor(idx: i32) to obtain the correct one. However the Rust bindings for GdkMonitor are not complete enough to let us call the function that provides the connector name, therefore we need to query smithay to get the vector and from the vector guess the index.

Fixes #1042.
