Hello, everyone. ...
The Powerpoint displayed perfectly on the large screen for the audience. And when I switched desktops and launched Totem, the audio component of the video clips played through the speakers. But, in the Totem window where the video was supposed to be, I only had a blue screen up on the wall for the audience.

Hi Gil, I believe that this problem might be related to the fact that most video application use some 'work arounds' to speed up the video output when playing movies. This means that they do not use the standard X server but simply create a window on the desktop an then fill that window by writing more or less directly into the graphic card's memory. That will not work with a dual-head set-up. The only way I can imagine here is to use a standard output method which does not go around the X server but uses it. If you use kaffeine, the xine program is used to do the real work. Call xine directly with --help and it will display a number of options for the video output methods. Try these and have a look whether any of these will give a display on the second head. Most likely, the output will be pretty slow if it works at all.
