thanks.
I guess I'd like 3 modes:
A. When I'm undocked, I want to just use the laptop's screen.
B. When I'm presenting, I want to use an external display (eg projector)
C. When I'm at my desk, if possible, I want to have TWO screens, the one
on my laptop and the other a monitor which extends my virtual desktop to
include BOTH areas.
