Your not overly specific but by what you've said so far, I would think that running two monitors where one is a clone of the first would be the most logical pursuit.
Sorry about not being too clear. What I am looking for is to create a pseudo webcam, broadcasting my desktop, with the end result being a Video4Linux device (eg: /dev/video0).

I would then use an application, such as Ekiga, and then use this v4l device as my webcam.

Essentially, the flow would be:
Screen Capture -> v4l encoding -> v4l device -> video conference application

I hope that helps clear things up.
