Hmmm, I held down the option key while clicking on monitors in the control
panel, but no little face appeared (although something seemed to be going
on).

Other problems with using two (or more) monitors:

1) FullWrite will spill the spelling and thesaurus (spelled correctly?)
windows onto the next screen if the current window spans the entire height
of the current screen!  Since my second (smaller) monitor is now almost
always off, I kept wondering where the damn spell dialog was!!

2) Two monitors right next to each other may interfere based on the
relationship between their vertical scan rates.  E.g., I have an apple
13" color and a supermac 16" color; with both on, the supermac raster
shimmers (but the apple doesn't!!); the supermac by itself is quite
stable.
