    One small problem (that's still in the RC) that may confuse normal users is the full screen mode if you have dual monitors (like you have a macbook [pro] and an existing monitor that you also connect to.)

    In my case I do full-screen Parallels in my "non menu bar" screen. No problems, works fantastic. Except if I choose things from the Parallels menu (which is still accessible because it's on a different screen). Then it can appear like things "lock-up". In reality, it's some pop-up or warning or message from the Parallel software that's displayed on the "full screen" screen but hidden by the full screen Windows XP. The only way to get things to work again is to do <alt-enter> to leave full screen mode and then the popup/message will show. Once dismissed I can then do <alt-enter> again to get back to full screen mode. Maybe you should add a hook to the code to "drop out of full screen" if a Parallel's dialog will be shown.
