Nor can you have each screen be managed separately; this is a function of the X server, and it looks like that functionality was removed from XRandR.
Can't you use the screennumber part of the display to do this? That
worked before there was an XRandR (and Xinerama). I don't have a
multiheaded machine available to check it on, or I would.
It may take some finagling to get things started properly:
DISPLAY=:0.1 xmonad & # Managing screen 1
DISPLAY=:0.0 xmonad # Managing screen 0, exit to exit X.
It doesn't look like xmonad has a way to specify a non-default config,
which would significantly lower the value of this. Moving windows
between screens didn't work back then either, but that was the X
server, so it may or may not work now.
