[STUMP] [PATCH] More scriptable frame splitting.

[Michael Raskin]

I noticed that saving/restoring layouts doesn't work that nice when
count of monitors is not a constant. The following patch makes writing
scripts to split frames in correct order a bit simpler. That way I get
frame numbers of new frames as I create them (which is convenient).
