Hello Brian,
   I actually use compiz on multi-screen for development at work.
I solve this problem by moving my web browser window to the other 
screen
and _make it sticky_. That way, no matter to what desktop I move,
the browser window stays visible on the other screen.

I assigned the "toggle sticky" action to Meta+S on my keyboard
to be able to do this quickly.
You should be able to find this somewhere in ccsm.

Cheers,
Vojtech "Kralik" Kral
