Well, the way I think remoting espcially with the advent of wayland should work is that when you cannot via VNC/Spice or similar, this new screen also gets added to the existing meta-session as another display. In this case these VNC/spice displays would simply show the same contents as any pre-existing sesion already though by default, instead of "extending" the virtual screen real estate... (and to turn this around: even in multi-head setups such a clone mode might make sense too: on each display you log into you could optionally just clone what you already see on the others...)
