That's X's doing. If you start an xterm on each screen and run 'echo
$DISPLAY', you'll probably see that one is running on :0.0 and the
other on :0.1. You can't move things between X screens without some
help (look at the xmove and teleport packages). You might have luck
using the XINERAMA extension to create a single X screen tiled across
both physical monitors, though.
