[xmonad] Floats always go to the current screen (Patch)

[Robert]

Yes, please test :) . To be honest I haven't yet tested it directly (I 
only have multi-head at work). But shepheb on #xmonad helped test it on 
his setup.

Incidentally, the UpdatePointer contrib module may help you if you get 
annoyed with windows popping up a long distance from where your pointer 
currently is. It won't help you see the window, but it'll do the mouse 
travelling for you. </plug>
