What should I say?
Window,0,xpos=1500
does straddle the monitors. Hence xinerama(?) is working. It is show in
the list of X extensions.
isExtendedDesktop() is non-zero.
Still I cannot extend the window by dragging and not by creating it with
x/ysize:
IDL> window,0,xpos=1000,xsize=3000
IDL> help,/dev

I think my 2cents tend to be similar the problem stated with 3 monitors.
Finder Windows can be moved around, resized by dragging over both monitors
and can be enlarged if there is enough space to the right of the monitors.
I don't know how to get info about native mac windows but I think I have
there at least a 5000px width one.
