E17 DOES know about it,

you have several options to acomplish this, but you have to know how you want 
it to behave.

Examples: you may chose that all screens know about the windows in the other 
screens, you may choose that iconified (minimized) windows are listed in all 
the screens or not.

For iconified (minimized), create a shelf (it can be anywher or you may use one 
you already have), add an iBox and go to ibox options. There you may choose to 
show windows from all screen or current, and from all desktops or just current. 
This difference is because E also handles virtual desktops individally for any 
screen (this is differnt in KDE or gnome, in E17 when you switch a virtaul 
desktop in one screen, it only changes in that screen)

For the list go to control panel -> windows -> window list menu. Under the 
'Group by' tab you will have the option to group by destkop (same behaviour I 
explained before) and a checkbox to include form other screens as well.

Personally, I have 2 screens and I have a shelf in each one with an Ibox each 
shelf that only has inconified windows from that screen and from that desktop. 
Is like manualy using 'activities' :P
