I don't think compiz likes it, but I've always felt like having seperate x sessions, instead of using twinview should give you the opportunity to control them separately, but the only posts I've seen about it talk about having issues with compiz. If my machine wasn't wokring so smoothly I might try it. I hate to mess up a good thing though....
