um?
Huh?

From what I gather it does support multiple monitors?

If you mean that you can control a computer which uses a dual-screen setup to have more workingspace: it is already implemented.
With MirrorDriver: Just push your mouse to the left or right to scroll to the second screen.
Without MirrorDriver: Push a button (return to fullscreen button) to switch screens.

I'm not the one who originally posted, but what he or she MIGHT be referring to is the ability to maximize the viewer (run in full screen) on other monitors in a multi-monitor system. For instance, I have three monitors on my system (Windows XP Pro), and like to run all of my remote desktops on the right-most monitor, in full-screen mode. Since my Windows task bar is on my middle monitor, I can switch between remote desktops quite easily.

RealVNC does properly run in full screen mode on other than the primary monitor. I drag it to the secondary monitor in windowed mode, tell it to go full-screen, and it goes to full-screen on my right monitor. Ultr@VNC does not. When I drag Ultr@VNC to the right monitor and tell it to go full-screen, the remote desktop disappears altogether (I have the auto-hide bar that allows me to return to windowed mode, but it is at the top of the primary monitor, not the right one). I can only go full-screen on the primary monitor.

I am running RC 19.1, so I apologize if this has already been fixed. I haven't gotten to the point of compiling my own from the source in CVS, so I have not been updating unless a new binary build is available for download.

Just my 2 cents...
