As for where this is referenced in the specification, here it is:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc242419(v=PROT.10).aspx
The client informs the server of various system parameters using the Client
System Parameters Update PDU. As with many things in RDP, this maps directly
to some Windows API, here's the original version of it:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724947(v=vs.85).aspx
If you read carefully the spec refers to MSDN-VIRTUALSCR:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145136(VS.85).aspx
If multiple monitors are in use, the SPI_SETWORKAREA command is will set the
work area for the monitor where the work area fits.
I recently added code to match what is explained in MSDN-VIRTUALSCR, and
make it easy to manage multiple monitors in RemoteApp properly.
