I haven't looked at the rest of the patch -- are you fixing that so that
damage is clipped to the union of the borderClip regions?

Right, the clip intersect in Subtract ends up fixing any potentially
overreported damage before the client sees it.

It's either that or fix the damage to be 'correct' across window
configuration changes, I think. Either would work, doing it in Subtract
would keep things the same as the single-screen case today, and save a
bunch of frobbing during configuration changes.
