This is another configuration that's often used here.

who are using dual monitors, what
configuration do you use? Here at work, we have people using dual
LCD
displays. I see the following configurations in use:
* Horizontal side-by-side, most often "tilted back" (top back,
bottom up) but sometimes also straight up and down. This is
what I
use.
* Vertical side-by-side. A LCD monitor is easy to rotate, of
course.
These are most often straight up and down. I tried it but it
felt
cramped.
* Horizontal /one above the other/. I kid you not. I usually
see
this configuration with the upper monitor tilted /forward/
(top
forward, bottom back) and the lower monitor tilted opposite.
The
configuration has a very futuristic/spaceship look.
I have seen a few quad monitor setups, which are most likely from
multiple machines.
In my current configuration, I devote the left-hand panel to all my
normal work, and use the right-hand panel exclusively for e-mail. I
think that the biggest hurdle to overcome is switching my mindset.
I am
just not used to having this much screen space, so I do things in
an
old-fashioned style. I often find myself switching between app
windows
rather than moving one off to the second display.

Richard...you're thinking too much. :-)
As a long-time user of multiple monitors, consider it one big
desktop. Simply drag whatever application window you want to
whatever
screen you want. You'll be able to drag from the left monitor to
the
right monitor and vice versa. I'm continually moving things
around.
With the mouse, when you move it past the right boundary of the
left
monitor, it will appear on the right monitor.
As long as you don't restart your machine with only one monitor,
when
you reboot, each application will (usually) reopen on the monitor
where you left it before you shut down.
