I see no reason why you'd want to scroll FXMDIClient, but if you do, it should
be inside FXScrollWindow, not FXScrollArea.

I have used dual-head configured machines with FXMainWindow stretched over 
both screens.  That works fine.  Your FXMDIChild can thus span two screens.

FXScrollArea is really meant as base-class for scrolled widgets.  For scrolling
GUI, use FXScrollWindow.  It expects a single child, and that child will be
scrollable.
