Switching Monitor causes overlay to become regular window
Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Start up overlay
- Plug in another display which, when plugged in, disables the built-in display and runs single-monitor
Expected behavior Window continues to be a Layer-shell window on the new display
Problematic behavior Overlay layer-shell window becomes a regular window with a transparent background

Additional context
Most likely cause is the monitor change event is not caught. If it is, the monitor option might be suspect.
This begs a further question - if the specified monitor doesn't exist should we pick another monitor to display on or not display at all?
While grabbing these change events and re-setting the monitor fixes DPI scale changes and resolution changes much better now, it does not fix this.
On top of this, once the monitor the layer-shell was attached to has gone once it no longer renders to the window, even after the monitor returns.
For now I'm working around this by adding exec discover-overlay to my kanshi config which runs a new overlay instance and kills the old one on every monitor change. This is not a fix, but may help users while I work this out.
