Hmm, this probably isn't what you are looking for but it is worth a shot if you cannot find anything else

1) Keep the current setup. One large desktop over two screens.
2) Launch Xnest -ac :1
3) Drag that to monitor 2 and sticky it to all desktops.
4) Open a terminal
export DISPLAY=localhost:1
startkde (or other WM)
5) Play video/do stuff

Mplayer will not work using XV so you have to use X11 and you lose scaling. There are a ton of options to Xnest though so I am sur eif you play with them you will find a better combo.
