This could be a workaround for me, too.
How do you switch the workspaces on your second screen (=2nd monitor?)
without a panel and workspace switcher applet? 

I figured out to start X11 programs on the second screen with:
DISPLAY=:0.1 <program> <args...>

At least I could place my webbrowser on the second screen this way...
