Well, maybe you will have to get 3rd display? I am in a similar problematic and this looks like best thing to do... Additionally, you won't have to do all the movement each time your girlfriend needs a PC. Just an extra screen, which will mostly be unused. Choice is yours. You can* also start that Xephyr maximised on second screen - Xinerama supports it! Should work fine, if your girlfried makes no security threat to you :) (in a case when you have to leave your session open) * is an indirect conclusion, which has some assumptions
I am currently slowly testing those things, so not many questions I can answer, just some ideas.
