	Any plans on fixing this?  As it is, my plans to buy an SE/30,
AU/X, and a large monitor seem rather pointless (I assume the internal
monitor is "first").  At the VERY LEAST, the user should be able to
choose which monitor to use, and I don't see any reason why multiple
monitors shouldn't be supported.
