this doesn't really explain why it goes to the left on my single-screen 
laptop, right? =) or why it starts out on the right, and then goes to the 
left? also, it isn't aligned to the screen, it's aligned to the containment 
itself.

for the containment still associated with that screen, i can imagine. plasma 
does not destroy the containment just because the screen goes away!

so we probably first need a check to make sure that the screen id is valid. 
makes sense.
