So far.. Eclipse and Terminal won't stretch at all.  I can take a
window of a given size and place it across both monitors, but when I
try to resize it, it "snaps" down to a single monitor.

Netbeans was slightly more flexible.  I could resize it slightly while
stretched, but nowhere near covering both displays.

I can experiment more tomorrow (work computer that I can't access from
home).  Also, I should probably give more details about how the
monitors are plugged into the card since it's using one of those Y
adapters, not a dual port card.
