It looks like X has not stopped properly. If there is not a remaining window - check the process list, and look for XWin.exe. Stop this process - and try to start it up again.
As for a multi-desktop screen - a couple of google, and sourceforge sites reveal many options(currently sourceforge is down for maintenance). For example listing only free ones: Multidesk 2001 http://download.com.com/3000-2346-3293012.html?tag=lst-0-9 SDesk (More of a superlarge scrollable desktop) http://download.com.com/3000-2346-10133509.html?tag=lst-0-16 There are many- If I could get to sourceforge now I would list those in preference....
