"Multi-headed" means two video cards, two monitors, etc.  

This is an OS configuration issue, as GTK is using the window manager
software of the OS.  If the window manager is configured to run
multi-headed, GTK should be able to take advantage of that.

IMHO as a 10-year field engineer/sr. field engineer specializing in
graphics-intensive computer aided design systems with multi-headedness
as a forte.  ;)
