Moving windows to other screen in Zaphod mode

Hi,

after weeks of searching i found a way to use the 'zaphod mode'. This works with the config file at the end. I can move the mouse from one screen to the other but not the windows. That means i can resize the window by moving the window to the edge. That is what i want. I don't want expand the desktop to two monitors.

Now is the question: how can i move a window to the other screen? In xfce settings i only see the screen of the notebook but not the monitor connected over hdmi. or is it possible to use a panel in the second screen? At the moment its black.
