I don't understand this.. why does programs like Zoom Player and GB-PVR work perfect on the secondary display then?

I know it's free and everything, but we who use our computers as both desktop and HTPC should at least have the *option* to run MP on the secondary screen without having to resort to hacking, even though it's not recommended. It seems like a lot of people are missing this.

Mediaportal is by far the best mediacenter i have tried, I would even pay money to use it, only too bad it is missing this one necessary (imo) feature.

So please please re-implement this.
