So then, you MUS be using some kind of firewire to vide monitor 
converter and That is tuned to your 23" cinema displyy ?
  OY. I would think it wouldn't show anything unless FCP or iMovie were 
on.
What does it show fter a boot?
  Are you saying that you have to start FCP twice and boot twice?
Have you tried using the 23 as your main monitor and then plugging a 
video monitor of a more regular kind into that firewire converter? Or 
running a dual desktop with the canvas in one window?
  Can we even do that? Sometimes I just don't know.
