I was wondering if anyone knows of an application that would let me manage multiple displays from my PowerBook G4. Basically, I normally use my PB connected to my Dell WFP2007. Occasionally I use my TV to watch movies or TV shows in quicktime. I connect my PB to my TV with an S-Video cable. I want an application that would let me choose which 2nd display would be used (rather than having to disconnect whichever isn't in use). Does this make sense? Anyone know of an application to help me do this?

Have the monitors control panel show the monitor menu thingy in the menu bar and save screen sets (not sure if that is possible if monitors are connected)?

not sure if that's really solving my problem. It still requires me to disconnect the Dell monitor to view the TV when it's plugged in. It won't just let me "switch" over.
