Would it be an option to create something like a virtual video card, and use that for vnc? (use a single exe to install / uninstall that driver, and bypass all warnings)
That would eneable VNC to switch screens, move visible windows to the other screen, leave the primary monitor as it is, no flashing or whatever, and send only updated parts to the client. I guess it would work faster too...

It's a shame that the OS doesn't provide a better interface to monitor-powerdown or off-screen rendering, otherwise it'd be safe to use that and avoid all this complication!
