    Thanks for the suggestion but, unfortunately, this only applies to the
    initial window and subsequent windows, not the "full screen" mode which
    is used for presentations and doesn't use standard X Window System options.

    The documentation that comes with Acrobat Reader mentions dual display
    preferences, but only for Mac OS, and says "Full screen view of a page
    appears on only one screen" which is exactly what I would like for Linux...

    Anyway, thanks again!
