I have been using the TightVNC viewer on multiple monitors successfully
for some time under X11.

At first I tried using full-screen mode, but although this worked, the
other screen became inaccessible vhile vncviewer was running.

So what I did was run vncviewer not in full-screen mode, but with the
window geometry exactly filling the screen, without any window manager
decorations. This is indistinguishable from full-screen mode, and leaves
the other screen accessible. I am actually running two vncviewers at the
moment, one on each screen.

The only problem I've noticed is that when not running in full-screen
mode, pointer warps don't work, which is slightly irritating, but I have
got used to it. Also, cutting and pasting between the two vncviewers
doesn't work properly, but I have always found this to be the case with
TightVNC anyway.
