I have a dual head setup and can't repeat this. However, it is likely
because I'm using the Xinerama module to get one big screen. It seems you
are using two separate x-servers (one per screen). You might consider
investigating the use of the Xinerama module and thereby letting X pretend
it has one big screen. That is, both screens form part of localhost:0.0,
there is no :0.1.**
You need "Option Xinerama" in the Modules section. You also just define
the two Screen sections as usual but combine them in the one Layout. The
best instructions I found for this were at the matrox site (look for linux
drivers and then read their howto/install guide).

** I have considered doing like you to try to get a virtual console and an
X session on alternate monitors but decided against it. There's no
going back from having 24x10inchs of screen space for X.
