Um... I installed Mavericks on a two-monitor system today, and after finding (in what's becoming an Apple tradition) the unlikely location of the controls for freeing the displays to act as they have since OS 6 or so (that is, one large, contiguous piece of pixel real estate), was able to run an animation that spans the two displays, as the system has since 10.6.
The controls I used were in the System Preference pane for Mission Control. I unchecked all boxes, but the relevant one is "Displays have separate spaces." Doing so also allows application windows to span displays, instead of fading out on one.
I realize Jeremy can't comment directly on unreleased software, but is it a reasonable supposition that XQuartz can span more than two displays in 10.9 if that control is unset?
