When you refer to "pc's with two and even three displays" I'm guessing that 
you mean multiple monitors.  These are not the same as multiple displays in 
the unix sense.  A display in the unix sense refers to the desktop canvas 
that windows are drawn on, and to the keyboard and mouse inputs that the 
display accepts.  Usually there is a separate display for each user working 
concurrently on a multiuser unix machine.

In this sense, WinVNC does not support more than one display per host.

Perhaps your next question, then, will be "How can I get VNC to display 
windows on other than the primary monitor"?  I do think that it is 
possible, though it is frequently asked.
