I've noticed that multi-monitor support has been discussed on and off on

when I tried his patch, I found it did not refresh the screen unless Full
Screen Polling was enabled in Windows XP.

Has anybody else found a workaround or another multi-monitor solution? Are
there plans to include multi-monitor support in some of the VNC offshoots
(eg. UltraVNC)?

Well, it's more of a workaround than anything to do with vnc. But I use JS Pager Virtual Desktop to deal with multiple monitors.

It's at:

Basically, you use the virtual desktop software to automatically move around which windows are on the display that VNC is sending you. Thus you can effectively "flip" between the two displays.

I use this virtual desktop at home, even without two displays. It's pretty nice in its own right, as well as being useful for multi-monitors in VNC.
