You know I've never thought of it as an inconvenience until right now.

Gee, thanks, Viro, now it's going to aggravate me EVERY time :P

I will...
Totally agree with you; there should be a menubar (or in any case a dock) on the second screen. I want to see which apps are open on my second screen, I want their functions at the top of my second screen. Logical as that.

*snicker*

Gee, you get that for free in Windows systems with multi-monitor support because the menu bar exists in the application... where I believe it should be, by the way. As much as I like my apple, I still think the menu bar belongs in the app.

Then post it in Apple's Mac OSX Feedback.

I found the Apple feedback page (for most everything) here. if enough people provide feedback, Apple probably will respond. Also, if you are the third party developer, then I smell a shareware third party application brewing here.

I remember back in the OS9 days that you could drag the menubar to the second monitor in the monitors preference panel. Is this still possible in OSX, or does this simply re-assign the secondary monitor as the main monitor? I definitly like Viro's idea about having two menubars, though. What about two docks?

you can do that, that's not the problem. he wants it on both at the same time but not mirroring the displays.

The menubar should merely move to whichever screen the active document window is on.
