The code goto "whole" when the monitor configuration is invalid, because in this case, we don't know what to display, so we just display the "whole" primary surface 0.

Somebody needs to figure out why the monitor surface is 5, and if the server config is correct, then spice-gtk needs to learn to switch primary surfaces, which is currently not supported.
