A different topic here although a dual screen issue. I recently got a second screen and use it to run Squeak but I assume the same issues occur with Pharo.

I want to run one image across both screens. For some windows (e.g. Browsers) I have modified the code so that when the window is initially opened, if necessary, it moves to the left so as to avoid showing up across both screens. Other windows (e.g. Save and Quit Window) can still open split between the two screens. I will fix these someday and then release my code to Squeak. Feel free to then port it to Pharo.

One problem though is vm related. If I save and quit and then reopen my image all the windows on the right screen only are lost. This is a major pain.

Also, what happens with three screens? I am willing to look into this if someone sends me the money for a third screen. ;-)

:) The problem will be always there, as long as VM in control how/when/where to open windows instead of image. And if you think that the cost of your work to change VM (+image, of course) would cost around 1 modern display price (even if you pick the most fancy one ;) , then i consider it is quite cheap ..
