===========================================================

This is more of a general X server problem, having been established before the idea of hot-pluggable screens. There is no stadard way to add or remove screens in the X11 protocol. Even resizing an existing screen is a new feature for X. In Reflection, is the 2nd screen 'live' but not always visible?


But, why have two actual screens instead of one large virtual screen?
If you don't want to lose your WIn32 desktop space, why not go rootless or MultiWIndow mode?


If you want the X desktop space, it would probably be possible to use RANDR to allow dynamic resizing of one screen to fill one or both Win32 Displays.
