I have the exact same issue in the exact same way, been struggling to
make it work and it simply does not. It did work in previous xubuntu
versions, but not 18.10, something broke it.

Essentially, if you watch the machine boot up, you will see the second
monitor initially shows some stuff, then, it eventually goes not blank
but some light color, CJS called it light gray, lets go with that. It
does not respond, I cannot send anything to that display. nvidia control
panel shows both screens set up as shown by the OP. The control panel
shows the second display as :0.1, and, if I for example DISPLAY=:0.1
thunar, it displays on display 0.0

If you shut the machine down, the formerly inactive second display comes
to life and shows the shutdown process.

If you remove the double screen portion of xorg.conf and use a single
screen, it works fine. But that's not what is desired here.

If there is any info I can provide, please let me know. Like CJS, this
is very bad for me.
