At work, where I do have two monitors but with Windows, I do something
similar even though the two monitors are functioning as one really wide
monitor. I simply have one application or project up on the left and a
different one up on the right. Actually, it's not exactly like having one
wide monitor because if I maximize it will maximize to the monitor (however,
I can drag or stretch a window across both screens). I can minimize apps and
when I restore them they pop up in their respective monitors. Sounds a lot
like what you want and with the extra real estate, maybe you can do what you
want without worrying about having more than one virtual desktop up at a
time.
Of course, maybe what you want is entirely possible in which case go with
that.
