Hi Len, This is my first reply in the ubuntu devel mailing list. As far as I can see, you can have extension or replication of existing X display not matter xfce,gnome or kde. The workspace alignment to display is coupled to the window manager if I'm right. I remember this one fondly that I checked on a long time ago for replication of multiple workspaces on multiple display.
