Not sure if I understood... I want my screens to be two separate screens, i.e. I want to be able to have virtual
desktops on both and also separate panels on each screen, i.e not just one large screen... Can this be configured more
than one way? And if so, which is the correct way?

What I am doing now, is to define it like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        Screen      1  "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
