As previously reported, I've tried a number of different Nvidia and the
X.Org drivers with no better results.

And as previously reported:
--------------------------------------------------
54-> xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-I-0 connected 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 
432mm x 324mm
   1600x1200     60.00*+
   1280x1024     85.02    75.02    60.02  
   1024x768      85.00    75.03    70.07    60.00  
   800x600       85.06    75.00    72.19    60.32    56.25  
   640x480       85.01    75.00    72.81    59.94  
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis

Note: No DP-3?  RandR must be numbering the display ports differently
from NVIDIA.

The above output is identical to what you get with the command:   xrandr
-display :0.0

However, you can probe the second screen with the command:   xrandr
-display :0.1

55-> xrandr -display :0.1 
Screen 1: minimum 8 x 8, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384
DP-3 connected primary 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 
432mm x 324mm
   1600x1200     60.00*+
   1280x1024     85.02    75.02    60.02  
   1024x768      85.00    75.03    70.07    60.00  
   800x600       85.06    75.00    72.19    60.32    56.25  
   640x480       85.01    75.00    72.81    59.94  
--------------------------------------------------

So, as you can see, RandR DOES know about the second display, but it
does not properly integrate it into the system.

Since you say that Xfce is built upon RandR, I'd say that that may be
the place to start.

I don't know what is going on down at this level, but if someone in the
developer community thinks this is actually a RandR problem, please
change the target package from my guess of xfwm4 to libxrandr2 or
whatever you think appropriate.

Still, this is a lot of theorizing when someone in the developer group
could be testing this out on a dual screen configuration and see what
actually happens!
