So this got me curious,  and I tried it out.  In the terminal that's
running inside of the virtualbox instance where I'm doing emails,  it
comes back with:

:0

Have you tried to emulate multiple monitors in virtualbox?

But in a terminal which is running on the host Debian system,  it comes back 
with:

:0.0

I wonder why the difference?

My guess is that it may depend on graphics adapter and its driver. I have heard that a display may have several screens (it is not the same as multiple monitors that show different regions of the same display and screen). I have never tried such configuration. I am unsure which approach is used in nvidia's xinerama.
