If they don't have different rectangles, then they are displaying the same
contents.  A window isn't located on a "screen", it's located at a
coordinate in an abstract space.  If a point is in a screen rectangle then
it's visible on that screen.  If it's in multiple screen rectangles, then
multiple screens are displaying it (which would be the case if you're
mirroring content... I imagine xinerama can do this).  So if two screens
*do* have the same rectangle, then they ought to have the same gap (and
really should hold the same workspace).
