I just got a second monitor for my Mac II and noticed one funny thing:  some
windows get thrown up on the monitor connected to the video card that is
plugged into the lowest numbered slot *regardless* of which card is set to
have the menu bar.  The mouse pointer also starts out on that monitor immed.
after start up (I had that monitor turned off once and couldn't find the
mouse pointer to save my life!  Then I realized what must be going on.).
So, it pays to have the menu screen be the one connected to the "earliest"
video card.  Otherwise, the addition of a second monitor is about as seamless
as it could be.  Try that with a PC!
