Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)'s Spaces is conscious of multiple monitors. To the extent that if you hit its “preview all desktops” button with more than one monitor, it shows you the content of all of those monitors for all desktops.
Until I noticed this, I figured Apple was just playing catchup to Microsoft's deskman.exe XP powertoy (possibly by incorporating their user community's product, see below), but clearly this is a leapfrog, if an obvious one.
Before 10.5 I was using Virtue for this. It remains more extensible than Spaces, but it doesn't actually do anything extra I need, and it absolutely doesn't let me see everything on all desktops at the same time, so it's kicked to the curb.
