Full screen mode with dual displays

I use a 20" iMac, and have a 23" ACD hooked up to it. I use the 23" as the main display.

Whenever i view a QT video, if i choose fullscreen it does it on the iMac screen. How can i get it to play fullscreen on the 23" ACD?

Aluminum 20" iMac 2.4Ghz 4GB RAM, 23" ACD, Mac OS X (10.5.1), iPhone 8gb

Open Quicktime-->Quicktime Menu-->Quicktime Player-->Preferences (not Quicktime Preferences)-->Full Screen. Pick the screen you want the video to show on...

How can I solve this same problem globaly? In other words, is there a way to tell the computer (my macbook) to throw ALL full screen things to the second display instead of the macbook's display?

Realplayer, WMA, and computer games all still go to my macbook display. Ples help.
