The Dual Monitor full-screen app trick works with Multi-windowed apps like Safari and Xcode.
Specifically, this hint works also for Multi-windowed apps.
I used to be able to have the Xcode workspace in one window full screen on Monitor 1 and and its Organizer Documentation window in Monitor 2. But in 10.7 the documents window would slip behind the workspace when sending the workspace into full screen.
I tried the above hint using the same method. But calling the Documentation window by its hotkey. It worked. The documentation window popped onto the second monitor and it was not in fullscreen mode.
And the same thing happens with Safari. I just used the hotkey for New Window. I suspect this will work for other apps.
[crarko adds: I still don't have a dual-monitor setup to try this, but it sounds like a great follow-up to the earlier hint.]
