There is nothing that requires you to have the same thing
on both screens. Depending on your multi-monitor card or
your combination of single (or multi) monitor cards your
dual-monitor options are typically:
1.) one desktop cloned on each display
2.) have one big desktop spanning both displays.
3.) have separate desktops on each display.

(1) Is typically used in situations such as a presenter
using the primary monitor while the audience watches
what he does on the secondary monitor. Often the secondary
monitor is a projector, but it can be an ordinary CRT or LCD.
2.) Is typically used when you want more screen space for your
desktop (and hence for the apps on that desktop) than you can
get from a single monitor.
3.) Is typically used when you want more screen space to have
multiple application windows simultaneously visible but you
don't require that they be on the same desktop.
Many users of multi-monitor systems toggle back and forth
between (2) and (3) depending on their needs at the time.
