Thanks to the wonders of PostScript, you can do this by changing 1 line
of code to substitute the coordinates of the workspace window for those
of the main screen.  I think I even left a function in the pswraps to get
this value for you.  However, it may take more memory, it's hard to get
good performace from a window that exists on different bit-depth screens,
and I didn't like the effect of stars originating "between" the screens,
so I didn't include this behavior.
