[TxMt] Opening TM on a second monitor on a Mac

I saw the following yesterday on Macintouch:
Notes and Tips

Jeffery Lay offered more information about a problem with secondary
monitors and Mac OS X 10.4.7:

Apple have acknowledged bug reports, saying "After further
investigation it has been determined that this is a known issue, which
is currently being investigated by engineering." So, if you're having
this problem, at least you know it's been acknowledged and is being
looked into, and we can hope that a fix will be included in an
upcoming software update.
  Meanwhile, a few partial workarounds have been discovered which may
help to reduce your frustration in the short term.
- If you disconnect or turn off the second monitor, all is well.
- Failing that, if you can, return it to landscape rotation, and
problems are reduced (but not stopped).
- Next-best is to move the window(s) in which graphical operations are
taking place on to the main screen.
- Finally, removing "quicktime plug.webplugin" from "/Library/Inernet
Plug-Ins" seems to reduce the likelihood of a freeze from embedded
movies in Safari.
Hopefully there will be a proper fix soon.
