There is also the possibility that the screen mapping by screenpool gets
lost or partially lost ( like removal of plasmashellrc but not
appletsrc)
In this case if it was a multimonitor setup there will be containments
assigned to a screen number which doesn't have a known connector.
List them as well, marked as "Unknown 1" "Unknown 2" etc.
This is an edge case of the edge case but it well possible it happens so
it should be managed as well
An UI to manage Screen assignment of Containments, the main use case is to recover lost or inactive panels from a display that you can no longer access.

Access the dialog from Toolbar in Edit Mode (Manage containments)
To show the dialog, simply enter in `edit mode`, then you can :
* See known displays and their panels and desktops, the dialog automatically update when adding/moving/removing a panel.
* Delete a panel or a desktop
* Recover a panel by moving it to an active display (click on move icon, then select the proper action in drop menu)
* Recover a desktop by moving it to an active display, in fact, this will swap it with th targeted desktop
* Modifications are automatically applied
What I've tested:
* Adding a panel, adding some applet on it. Then disabling its display, open the dialog and move it to an active display, restarting session, the panel is here with its applet.
* On another display, add applets (sticky note) on the desktop. Disable this display, open the dialog and move it to an active display, restart session, both desktop were swapped and you see the background (if different) and sticky note available.
