That was partially intentional. Having two displays isn't an absolute
requirement, so I'm looking for any way in which I can make use of the
display built-in to the laptop that minimizes negative impact on the
usability of the primary display.

My preference would be to permit moving windows. But if the TwinView
anomalies prove annoying enough, I might try this.

How do you switch between displays (designate which receives keyboard
and mouse input)?
