This was THE HINT, thanks :-)

Googling for "xubuntu xorg zaphod" brought me:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/278115/dual-screen-setup-in-ubuntu-with-intel-hd-graphics

Which is NEARLY EXACTLY what I want!

I have now two independent displays with their own panel and workspace
switcher. The only problem so far is: when I right-click on the desktop
background the application menu appears on the other display. I found a
workaround: left-double-click the desktop background, then right-click.
But this is nasty. Is there a better solution?
