You can in X, too, but it's rarely useful for top-level windows.

I'm not sure if Xinerama or RandR works like this, but with multiple monitor
setups on Windows, you can choose to put the secondary montitor to the
left and/or above the primary monitor, in which case all coordinates on
that monitor become negative.  So its not as useless as it might
initially seem.


AFAIK, in X the top left corner is always at 0, 0. There is no concept of primary or secondary monitor, there are just monitors. There is a primary screen though.
