OK, so assuming an OS similar to X, can a single app support two forms
on different displays, and/or move forms between displays?
That's the job of the desktop/window manager, on every OS. When a form
shall be updated on screen, the manager determines the monitor from the
form's screen coordinates, then asks the form to paint itself. Moving
forms means nothing but changing their screen coordinates, then request
an screen update.
My understanding is that moving forms *between* *displays* requires
rather more than that, in fact I'm not sure it's doable on X (if it were
then we wouldn't need Xinerama, Xdmx etc.).
