Nice patch, good documentation, thanks! By the way you forgot to free
the monitor_name in client_changes_free_members(). You can check it with
valgrind, as described in the HACKING:

If you use tools like valgrind, then it is needed to turn of the memory
optimization settings for glib. So export this before running herbstluftwm
within valgrind:

    export G_SLICE=always-malloc
    export G_DEBUG=gc-friendly

    valgrind --leak-check=full ./herbstluftwm  -c share/autostart

It's partially my fault because I was to lazy recently to check it and
so there were two other memory leaks in the current head (fixed now). So
the valgrind output was full of leak reports. I added the according
g_string_free() to your patch and it's applied as:

7907ef5 Add consequence to move a client to a monitor

I'm not quite sure why one needs that consequence, can you name one
application for it?

Cheers,
Thorsten
