Maximize window across multiple monitors in Openbox or XFCE

In a multi-monitor setup I would like to maximize windows on all screens instead of to a single one.

The link below is exactly what I want to do. But I wonder if it's possible without Compiz? I'm usually on Openbox but could run XFCE also.
