Yep. My Mac is arranged like this:

19" LCD (1280 x 1024) landscape (video preview)
30" ACD (2560 x 1600) landscape (workspace)
19" LCD (1024 x 1280) portrait (web pages, reference art etc)

My desktop is stretched across all 3 desktops, so as far as a web page
is concerned desktop size is irrelevant.

However... I build all my sites in Flash, and aim for full clarity at
800x600, but they expand to fill whatever space the browser makes
available.
