Okay, I have a love-hate relationship with Front-Row. I like how it works, but it is an unusual app. The only way I can find to launch it is with the remote. And then it takes over your whole computer. I bought the DVI-svideo adapter for my Intel iMac and wanted to either run Front row on the TV and leave the mac desktop alone (preferred) or run front row on the mac and have the movies play on the TV. But Front Row will ONLY run on the main display and when it is enabled, it blacks out the other display too!

I think it would be REALLY cool to have the front Row interface displayed on the spanned screen and leave the main Mac display untouched. Then you could use your computer as a computer while it is playing media at the same time.

Am I missing some secret control panel with settings for Front Row that would allow this kind of control?
