Anyone grasped dual monitors with Lion yet?

I know it's fairly early days, but I cannot seem to get dual monitors with full screen Apps sussed out. It seems the second monitor doesn't like to join in the fun.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

If i have two monitors and I use safari in full screen my second screen becomes a peice of cloth, and I cant use it at all.




Exactly what we have been moaning about.


I like to use, say Photoshop, on my main monitor and have Photoshop (or Mac) Help pages on my second screen. Saves me having to have the paper manual open competing for desk space with my favourire Mac or Photoshop magazine. Sometimes I like to have Textedit on my second screen so that I can type something at the same time as reading these web pages. No doubt you have all come across forums that log you out while you are typing something so that you lose the lot. I use TextEdit or Pages instead and then paste it across. I don't necessarily need two screens but it is often helpful.
