*should* you need to know this?
I would think that ideally the user should be in control of whether 
something goes on one screen or another, and that this ability shouldn't 
be taken away from them.

If this really is something you need, then I use the screenrects in more 
or less the way you describe to figure out what screen something is on. 
And it's "more or less" because I just look at the loc of the object and 
compare that with the rect elements of the screenrects.
