Hi, 
  I have no help for you, but I ave the same problem - I have 2 monitors
connected to form one seamless desktop. 
  If I run a virtual machine in VirtualBox, I can set fullscreen in the
VM and its screen takes precisely one of the monitors, leaving the other
intact - this looks like I have 2 PCs with one mouse and keyboard.
  Unfortunately, if I set fullscreen in vncviewer, it takes both
monitors. Patching this shouldn't be that difficult.
jar.

I need the behavior I described below with no interaction on the part of the user.  I have a button on my custom app that when pressed, sends a command to run the ReaVNC viewer.  I need the viewer to come up fullscreen, no title or scroll bars, on the left monitor only, with the video card set to horizontal span.

On the WinXP box I have dual monitor set up such that my desktop gets stretched across both monitors.  I have a custom application that takes up both monitors.  What I would like is for the VNC window to come up on the left monitor, take up all the real estate on the left monitor only, and have no scroll bars or title bar.  In a *.vnc file, if I have FullScreen=0, the VNC window appears with the title and scroll bars, but I can place it where I want.  If I have FullScreen=1, it takes up both monitors.  Is there a way to configure this as I have described above.  I have been looking through the archives for a few hours now and have gotten no where very fast.  Thank you in advanced for any help.
