Run the program again and make sure Screen Spanning is turned on.  I 
forget if a reboot is required at this point, do it if it's not 
clear.  Open System Preferences - Display.  Check "Show displays in 
menu bar. Connect an external monitor.  Look in the Display Menu (LCD 
display ICON), there should be a "Mirroring" item (not sure of the 
exact syntax, I don't have a display hooked up at the moment). 
Uncheck it.  You should now have an extended desktop and the Arrange 
tab should be available in System Preferences - Display.  You can 
also de-activate Mirroring from System Preferences - Display but I 
don't recall how that works.
