A different geometry but still on the same display IIUC.

I don't know.  Are we already informed when the user plugs in a new
display?

 > Would it work to test the display geometry from focus-in-hook?

Sounds expensive (BTW 'focus-in-hook' is obsolete since 27.1).  And what
about a user who currently has no frame on that display but might
consider switching to it when its geometry meets certain requirements?

 > Or

To poll the geometry?  Sounds much too expensive too.  If and when the
underlying windowing system informs us of display changes, I would just
react to them.  What's speaking against it?
