Boy, I wish developers would stop all this option/command/tab/caps-lock
nonsense.  The standard Apple interface seems to be becoming more and
more like Microsoft Word every day.

I could sort of understand the rationale behind command-option for
rebuilding the desktop file, and command-option-shift-caps-lock (or
whatever) for zapping PRAM, since these aren't things that the average
user is going to be doing very often.  But what would be wrong with
having an icon or button in the Monitors CDEV that does what the secret
option key does?  Now only technical users will be able to change the
default monitor, since they're the only ones who read this newsgroup
(or, more generally, they're the only ones who read manuals).
