Thw WScreens should be swapped. Otherwise the relative location change
would go unnoticed by the user (who either caused that change on purpose
and expects the screens to swap, or got that screen swap unvoluntarily
and should be notified), and stuff like mappings to change screen would
get its semantics reversed.
