You answered this one yourself, the same goes for any mac running
headless, the video stage will default to a "Mac Plus" screen 9" b & w :-)

A ghost on where ? Your Timbuktu session or your LC475 ?

Not a bug - but a "feature" according to Farrallon. They know about this
but its not in the manual! - might be a switchable option in the next
update but they wouldn't promise that :-/
The only way to get around this is to build a dummy plug with the
appropriate pins linked so that the mac thinks a monitor is connected.
