You have the case were the app on one of the screens needs full-screen
(video player, presentation, game whatever), while the other screen is
your normal desktop. This is the usual mode when one of your heads is
connected to a video-projector.

Cloning is not a good solution, as you almost never have the same
resolution or form factor on you desktop head and videoprojector head,
and usually people really do not want the same stuff displayed on
both. What people really want is select a normal not maximised window
on screen 1 and send it to screen 2 in full-screen mode

I'm almost 100% sure we do not have any general solution for this need
right now
