Anyone running a 16:9 + 4:3 dual screen setup?

I've got 2 19" 4:3 monitors at the moment on my desk at home and have had this setup for years. However my lovely CRT (that does huge resolutions) is starting to die and I'd like to replace it with a 24" widescreen. So that'd mean a 24" widescreen sitting next to a 19" 4:3 LCD.
Has anyone else done similar? Does this make for a wonky-looking desk? Is it usable? Note: I'm not really in it for the gaming.

Ah ultramon is the best - why isn't similar functionality available in windows by default?! I find using a machine without a taskbar on each screen really counterproductive to use!

Cheers for the infos guys...I think I'll drop some cash on a new screen at some point!
Anyone want a big and heavy CRT that does monster resolutions and refresh rates?!

Just an update on this - well I've now got this 24" phatty sitting next to my old TFT and it completely dwarfs it! No problems with the mixed aspects so far. Wow. Completely wow.
I have a triple-headed setup at work which is technically bigger, but to not have an additional bevel makes all the difference.
