So I cleared the "Mirror Screens" tick box in the Screen Resolution
dialogue, and now dual head works (there was no 1600x1200 resolution
available for the external screen, however, until I increased the size
of the virtual screen in xorg.conf).

But I don't see how to turn off xinerama mode, and get two independent
screens. (With xinerama on, I get portions of the virtual screen which
are not mapped onto any physical display, and when I disconnect from my
office screen and work elsewhere I don't know how to stop various
applications from opening windows or placing desktop items in the
invisible parts of the virtual screen.)

I guess I'll probably be able to figure that out. Dual head does work.
