Still MATE Desktop Environment.
chat apps are constantly on the second monitor(marked as allways on visible workspace) so i can chat when playing fullscreen games or what not.
between other apps that are maximized i switch with workspaces :)

Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +1920+0, DFP: 1920x1080 +0+0; CRT: NULL, DFP: 1920x1080 +0+0"
in xorg.conf
and added keybinds for switching between metamodes. alt+ + is xrandr -s 0 command and alt+ - is for xrandr -s 1
so basically first metamode is when both screens enabled and second is with smaller screen disabled.
thats needed for some games which get confused with the huge resolution and go over 2 screens
so when i start up game with metamodes, it switches off the smaller monitor and then i can turn it back on with alt+ +

The only real issue I ever have is that some applications (*cough* LibreOffice *cough*) if open on one screen will insist on opening all new windows of that application on that one screen even if you load it up on the other. This is the only reason I have AbiWord installed, as that way I can have two documents open on both screens and compare.
But for gaming in my humble opinion, there is nothing better. You could even have two games open on both screens and, besides the input locks, never have an issue.

im using proprietary nvidia drivers and nvidia has the metamode thingy, which works perfectly for me. no problems at all with gaming and no problems with libreoffice also:)

But if your happy with what you have, that is good. As I said though, Zaphod works beautifully for me.
There is just something about LibreOffice... probably something to do with some of the StarOffice heritage parts I am guessing.

im currently satisfied with my solution, but if my needs go in different direction or some apps that i start to use start to cause some problems..then i will give a shot for this method :)

Perhaps the most notable change is that I have finally found a suitable replacement to the Gnome audio mixer in the form of the independent pnmixer, which has allowed me to stop using the Gnome Fallback indicators in favour of pnmixer and the superior Xfce power manager.

have you tryed MATE desktop yet?
its been damn stable for me last 4 months since the version 1.1 (1.2 currently)
http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download
dev team is quite active as well. worth to take a look if u care about oldschool gnome2 experience.
xfce is nice also..but i dislike file manger in xfce and its missing some of my favorite applets that i can use with mate/gnome2
