That workaround will work for home and office computers. But I need
InstantVNC to support dual monitors for customers computers. A product that
we support is used by over 5000 users. At times we need to see what is
happening so we have them run InstantVNC. If they happen to have dual
monitors we can only see one monitor and the mouse does not position on the
remote screen properly. Because of this we desperately need the dual screen
support working.
