I was thinking about this earlier and I suspect that if we want to
avoid tooltips crossing monitors we’ll have to step through each
screen in [NSScreen screens], check if `pt` is within it’s bounds, and
when we find the right screen, use it’s origin and frame to calculate
the min/max x/y.

constrain_frame_rect in nsterm.m does something similar already.

There’s a method in CGRect called CGRectContainsPoint, which should
help us here, as NSRect is really just a CGRect. Unfortunately it
doesn’t appear to be available in GNUstep, so it may be necessary to
implement the check ourselves.

If we don’t care about spanning monitors, I think we still need to
step through each screen and calculate the overall min/max values.

What do you think?
