GNOME doesn't currently support this, but I've heard that it will when
they update to GTK+ 2.2, probably for GNOME 2.2?  I've also heard that
KDE supports this now, but I can't say for certain.  I no longer have a
dual-head setup.

I think this is actually easier to do with (1), but won't work until
your desktop environment properly supports multiple displays.
