Bug description
While switching between workspaces, OSD of current workspaces shows only on screen with lowest order number, not on screen, which is marked as main screen.
Steps to reproduce
On start, first screen has order number: 1
Connect external screen. External screen will get order number: 2.
Set external screen (2) as main screen.
While switching workspaces, OSD still will show on screen 1.
Expected behavior
While switching between workspaces, OSD of current workspace should show screen, which is marked as main screen.

Research direction
No file or test is named. First reproduce the workspace-switching OSD behavior with two monitors, making the higher-numbered screen the main screen, then trace the Cinnamon workspace OSD and monitor-selection code. Done means the OSD appears on the screen marked as main rather than always on the screen with the lowest order number.
