For starters don't send html to the list.
You are looking in the wrong direction here. Even if Wine could detect
separate monitors and work with them properly (all the DSIPLAY0 stuff)
you still would have a problem on the WM side. You see Wine does not
maximizes itself - WM does. Wine does not talk to WMs except few
rudimentary things. You will need to extend that so Wine could tell WM
how it should be maximized.
