There is one set of monitors per user, but monitors are tied to the
session in which they are started due to the redraw-on-resize code
(any commands will be run with $GISRC set to the value which the
driver inherited from mon.start).

I think that we would really need to have one set of monitors per
session. Either that, or just remove the redraw-on-resize code (which
would be a good thing in any case).
