Hi everyone. I just got a 2nd monitor for Christmas (dell 2007wfp 20" widescreen, looks really great). I'm using it with my Powerbook g4 15 inch computer (1.25 gigs of ram). This might be more of a software question, so if so please move it. Anyway:

I was wondering if there's a way to have my menubar and dock and icons all on my original monitor, but have certain programs open on the new monitor by default. For example, when I have my powerbook monitor as the default for the menu bar, when I click on firefox it opens the window on the powerbook display. I'd like to click the firefox icon in the dock on the powerbook display and have the new window open on the dell display. I don't want this to happen for EVERY program though, as I'd like iTunes, Adium, and Bittorrent to stay on the powerbook display.

Can anyone help me out? Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Thanks!

I can check at work (where I have a dual display system) but I'm sure that it remembers the last position of a window for that application.

This probably would be reset though if you disconnected the second display from your PowerBook.

It seems like my mac has kind of "learned" where I want things, oddly enough. The first day the display was connected I had to drag the window over, but now it seems to be working fine. Maybe it had something to do with how I was closing the program.

that's pretty much it. the apps will open on what display the were closed/quited on.

it should also remember the which one to open them on if you disconnect the display, use the PB on it's own then reconnect and then launch the apps.

this is what happens on my MacBook.
