Does anyone know if it is possible to move a window from one monitor to another on a two headed X-terminal? Or does it have to be destroyed on one screen and recreated on the other?

Moving window screen to screen
It would need to be recreated, which in most cases is easy. There is a simple exception -- if the X server is logically one screen split between two physical monitors, the window can be moved by the user or application, transparently.
There is software, typically used by the end-user, which can move windows among screens. It operates as a pseudo-server and then re-interprets the window according to the new characteristics of the second screen. See, for example, VNC or Tarantella.
