Well, that's not strictly true depending on what you mean by "screen".
If you mean multiple physical screens, X _can_ do this, but in order for
it to work you have to be running one X server that treats all the
screens as one large bit of real-estate. The applications all think
it's a normal screen (just a really wide--or tall--one :) and the X
server determines what pixels get drawn on each screen given the
geometry. I've seen this done before, where you can move the mouse,
windows, etc. between screens.
At any rate, this obviously isn't within the purview of the window
manager (or any other application).
