Whenever I've had my external monitor hooked up to my MBP, I've run it in clone/mirror mode. I'd like to start using extended desktop because there are certain things I'm doing on the system now that require a bit more screen real estate.
What I'd like to know is how to make the external monitor the primary display (with the dock, desktop icons, menu bar) rather than the MBP screen. This is easily accomplished in Windows, but I can't find a way to do it in Leopard.

System Prefs>Display>Arrangement. Then click on the white stripe in one of the monitors, and drag it to the other one.

Ah. That's both intuitive and not intuitive at the same time. Guess I'm just slow and like to have everything right there, explained like it is in Windows.
No matter, it works. +rep
