Multiple monitor support

I haven't been too bothered by this issue for the last month or so since I don't have access to a secondary monitor anymore .

Nevertheless, I still think that some applications that do not have multiple windows should have menu bars at the top of the active monitor. Even with multiple windows, you should be able to just click on the icon in the dock, and say "Move to monitor 2" or something to that effect.

I've reversed my thoughts since I last posted here.

I feel that from a muscle-memory point of view, having the menubar static is important, ergonomically.

I mean, if you move the menubar, do you then also move the Dock?

It makes sense the way things work.

It'd be nice, though, if your screens were aligned, you could have the menubar span more than one monitor like the taskbar can on Windows.

Of course Apple would love us to solve this "problem" ourselves by simply buying a 30" Cinema Dispaly.
