I work with my PowerBook attached to a 20" ACD at home, then all day at work I work on the PowerBook with no display attached.

Does anybody know of a utility that can do the following based on whether or not I have my 20" ACD attached?

- Remember my window placements, sizes for different apps
- Resize dock
- Change dock location
- Change desktop pictures
- Reposition icons on desktop

Some of this should be built into OS X, IMO. In any event, if there's software out there to do this stuff I'll be a happy camper.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Like VirtualDesktop, this app provides multiple desktops but it wouldn't be able to do what I'm looking for.
