    on suspending or exiting
    when WinXP SP2 is on on the secondary screen
    mac OS 10.4.8
    kernelDarwin 8.8.1

    there is some garbage written to the front window remaining on the primary screen
    1)
    if a finder file structure window it moves from the chosen folder to the desktop
    clicking the back button restores the original file I was browsing (eg a reminder of work to be done)

    2)
    others sometimes show a rectangular pattern of squares and rectangles
    like the crashes / freezes of of 10 years ago

    this is cosmetic
    to do with a portion of the screen failing to redraw until another window is dragged over it
    ATY,RadeonX1600 chip set


    ==
    in Coherence mode the display is better
    Windows Live Today window is OK now (bug fixed)

    looks impressive upper Cinema HD screen
    with Windows task bar at the bottom

    lower MacBook Pro screen
    with menu bar at the top
    (dock hidden to the left)

    =============
    when dragging a Mac OS window it appears on either screen equally well


    but when dragging a cohenrence mode window down
    it goes off the top screen behind the task bar

    but fails to appear on the lower "main screen"

    ======
    just checked if Parallels OS Window is on the lower (main laptop screen)
    I cannot drag a coherence mode aplication window to the upper screen


    i think this is a win XP issue to see multiscreens
    it needs another driver (parallels 3 wish list ?)
