Your images are screen shots, yes? How did you capture the screen shots?
Both images you show are from the same camera jpg, right? This comparison would, to me, be better understood if you presented exactly the same image on both screens.
Or, are you saying that if you have two windows on the same monitor, each window shows such color differences for the same image???
Or am I getting windows and monitors confused???

The actual photo is of two monitors sitting side by side almost touching. I then took a windows-type window displaying the photo, and dragged that window so it crossed between the two photos. What you are seeing is one image, split between the monitors. The man's face is quite literally the same image in the same windows window, cut in half where the monitors meet.
What I've also done is take the same image and open it up in two separate windows (i.e. two separate instances of the display program), and have one sitting on monitor #1, and one on monitor #2 (this to be sure I am not somehow confusing the color management of the application by having it split between monitors). Same type of result.
Everything is consistent - when the wide gamut monitor is configured wide, the images look oversaturated when displayed in supposedly color managed applications. What I did not do is take an inventory and try a bunch of applications, which I should probably do at some point, it may be program specific.
Since 98% of my work I do for the web I'm happy with it in sRGB emulation, but one day I need to figure this out better, as it might be desirable for some printing to have the wider space.
