Actually I think you'll find most CM software uses the profile of the
primary monitor (the one with the status bar). For this reason I
have the desktop monitor as primary (I have the same 'book as you).
That way each monitor has its own profile and software like Photoshop
will do the right thing, and at least you get to choose which monitor/
profile will be the default for the other apps.
OSX recognises the external monitor and uses that to restore the
appropriate monitor arrangement, so you can plug into different
monitors at different desks and have different layouts. I work in
two offices as well as mobile so I use this a lot (combined with
saving appropriate Workspace definitions in the Adobe apps).
Since loading 10.4 I've noticed Preview can also now handle 2
profiles.
I just upgraded a week ago (waited for 10.4.1), and the first thing I
noticed was that when an external display is connected, Tiger not
only remembers the right profile (Panther managed this) but also
loads the associated LUT. In Panther you had to select Display
Preferences and switch to a different profile and then back again,
which rather spoiled the whole thing.
Quite a few things were quietly fixed in 10.4!
