Currently multi-mon support is minimal; configuration centers specific screen only.

This is report of two issues. Please refer to attached video of reproduction.
Note the video is of two screens side-by-side; left is smaller, right a larger one.

1. top margin not respected
   Note how the window will cover the polybar in top, but leave a gap at the bottom. Do I misunderstand top & bottom margins, or is it an issue?

2. if window is a considerable fraction of a screen size, then i3move will sometimes have problems moving it around. This occurs in the video after galculator window size is increased, on the smaller screen (left). Note after some moving around the problem is fixed.

~/.config/i3move:

--title 18
--border 2
--margins 20 1 1 1
--inside-distance w
--outside-distance -9px
--small-distance =
--large-distance 3
--threshold 33%%
--no-clamp
--snap
--hide
--compound-display
--passthru

While working on multi monitor support, I noticed that xrandr was slow on my laptop but not on my gaming rig. I fixed the issue by configuring xorg.conf . My gaming rig did not have the issue because Xorg was previously configured with nvidia-xconfig . After configuring my xorg.conf on my laptop as root with Xorg :2 -configure; mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the issue went away.

Commit 73e9051 adds an xrandr dependency to i3move, so if i3move runs slowly, check to see if xrandr is the cause. If it is, configure Xorg if possible.

If configuring Xorg is not possible / not desireable, let me know and I can look into adding an option to i3move to tell it what your display layout is so that it doesn't have to run xrandr.
