Mr. Jones (and me, look into the future)...I can't help but say your name
and start to sing the song.

I've cc'd Ubuntu Minnesota because I thought it may be useful to
someone/people there as well.

I have run it on 2 monitors (Unity on 11.04) with an Intel graphics card.
 Unity did run nicely(and speedily):

   - I had 2 separate top panels (one on each monitor) with the Launcher on
   the leftmost monitor.
   - Workspaces group both monitors together when you switch between the
   four by default, I'm not sure if you can change this or not (I didn't look
   into it).
   - When I clicked on the Dash, it would open only on the leftmost monitor.
   - The top tray was duplicated on both monitors, however my main monitor
   (again, on the left) had the "Lock Screen, Log out, Shutdown, Restart, etc)
   menu, which was lacking on the right monitor.

That's call I can remember offhand, I hope this helps,
