No. What a X11 screen is is defined nowhere. With the xorg and xfree server it's
another vga card. Cygwin/X does not depend on hardware. So a screen is just
another
canvas to draw to. You could start Xwin with two separate windows which are both
screens. Or like I do a windowed screen for the remote desktop and a second
screen running in multiwindow mode which covers both monitors and where I can
show other X11 windows.
Separating the virtual desktop into screens again brings us to the same point
where Xinerama is used on xorg/xfree to glue the screens together
