Details:

Root property 'MonitorPositions' returns 0s instead of widths and heights of
displays:

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/root-properties.html


>> get(0,'MonitorPositions')
ans =

   0   0   0   0

>> get(0,'ScreenSize')
ans =

      1      1   1920   1200


On Matlab, both return [1 1 1920 1200].

If obtaining reliably the size of all monitors (and determining which one is
the primary display) is difficult, it would already be an improvement to have
MonitorPositions return the same value than ScreenSize.
