I actually have a dual head on my SGI, composed in fact of
2 Indys, 2 Monitors, but one Kbd/mouse. So I run two instances
of fvwm, and my mouse spans over through an X connection.

Now if you want to MOVE windows across the screen, which I
cannot do, you need xbigx or xpanx I don't remember. Have
a look at :

One nice feature is "Transparent Windows" where you can see
through the raised window what's happening on the lowered
window by a nice opaque effect. Very nice. And you can
move windows over as well. Oh, it's not free...
