How this works will depend on your setup - if you are using xinerama
over multiple graphics cards, it will either only show up on the
primary monitor (if you have 3d accelleration on that card) or fill
both screens (if you are using software mesa)

With a dual-head card (e.g. nvidia twinview, which i am using), it
will show up spread over both monitors

I don't know any way to change it to only show up on one, perhaps
someone else has ideas?
