R help - Aug 2003 - Use of Second Monitor Question

In teaching I'd like to be able to display a R-graphics window on a wall 
projection display keeping the R-console on the computer monitor.  And so I 
ask---

Is there a way to move a graphics window out of the Rgui window to a second 
monitor leaving the R Console window in the Rgui window on the first monitor?

Either a Windows or Linux solution would be just fine.

Linux: out of the box,
Windows: Start RGui with option --sdi, or choose SDI mode in the menu 
(Edit - GUI preferences ...).

Slightly off-topic, but: we are about to buy a data show to put up 
permanent in an aula. All "data shows" I have seen use the monitor 
port directly, so the monitor is blacked out. Is it possible to have 
a set up where I can see both on the monitor and the audience the 
projection? From the answer to this Q, it seems that would work well 
with R.
