You can have multiple panels on one desktop, it shouldn't be hard to do this
with two screens.
But since it doesn't work for now, you could create another user and run the
other screen as another user, and give each other user permissions to the
other's display and such.  could work.

Btw, how did you setup multihead? the best i can get my system  to do is
console on one screen and X on the other, unless i use XGGI at 640x480.
Xfree86 pre-4.0 didn't compile for me :(
