IIRC there is an option for Xnest to use 2 screens. Would that help you?

Some quick comments.

- Don't block the settings manager dialog (did you use gtk_dialog_run? 
(don't)).

- You probably shouldn't show the 'Screen 0' tab when there's only one 
screen.

- Could we try and find a way to not have a notebook in a notebook? 
Perhaps multiple Background tabs in the main notebook (Background 1, 
Background 2, Menu), or an option menu to choose the screen, with a 
checkbutton to use the same setting for all screens? I think I like that 
last option.

- If there is no better way, at least put a border around the inner 
notebook.

- (mostly my fault) The dialog is starting to look rather cluttered now. 
Lot's of text, seemingly randomly positioned, the 'Don't set backdrop' 
option seems out of place. I have no idea how to solve it though.

- I don't think we should use 'Backdrop' in our user interface. I'd 
prefer a more 'normal' word like background. This is of course very much 
personal opinion.

No code, just words, I'm afraid :/
