Hi Len,
This is my first reply in the ubuntu devel mailing list. As far as I can
see, you can have extension or replication of existing X display not matter
xfce,gnome or kde. The workspace alignment to display is coupled to the
window manager if I'm right. I remember this one fondly that I checked on a
long time ago for replication of multiple workspaces on multiple display.
http://awesome.naquadah.org
Not sure if this is the kind of display need that you are talking about.
Regards,
Arun
