It is because I am using a separate 19" LCD screen with my MacBook, and my MacBook is too far away on the right of my main screen (and cannot be closer), with blacked out screen. It is annoying because the position of windows are often set (.Xresources) to the right hand side of the screen, and in that case they go on to the other blacked out screen!
Then why don't you operate the MacBook with the lid closed? That way the 19" LCD will be your main and only screen.
It is because it heats up more rapidly (fan) and after a while the screen gets dirty with the heated dirt.
