This is more of a general X server problem, having been established 
before the idea of hot-pluggable screens. There is no stadard way to add 
or remove screens in the X11 protocol. Even resizing an existing screen 
is a new feature for X. In Reflection, is the 2nd screen 'live' but not 
always visible?

But, why have two actual screens instead of one large virtual screen?
If you don't want to lose your WIn32 desktop space, why not go rootless 
or MultiWIndow mode?

If you want the X desktop space, it would probably be possible to use 
RANDR to allow dynamic resizing of one screen to fill one or both Win32 
Displays.
