Hmm...  This is a really ugly hack, but it might work.  I believe that if 
therre are no instances of 3ddeskd running then 3ddesk will create one.  
Well, if you could just create a little script that would run 3ddesk then 
(after 3ddesk terminated) kill the 3ddeskd proccess.

Have two scripts.
        - One for the left monitor
        - One for the right.

Just at the beginning tell it which display to use,
Run 3ddesk
Kill the 3ddeskd process

I don't know if that would work, any comments on this?
