I'm confused about what you're doing. Are you actually running two separate applications on the same computer at the same time, each on a separate monitor? Or is it just one application (something like a teacher/student session), where the same thing appears on both monitors, and you want the "teacher" to have a separate mouse cursor to point with but not necessarily actually do anything (including moving the "students" mouse cursor)?
