DisplayWatcher
[ via the excellent Tao of Mac ]
DisplayWatcher is part of the solution that I've been looking for to manage my PowerBook usage. It allows you to run commands at display switches and wake from sleep. The second part of the solution is commands/Applescripts that get run to set up the right configurations. I tend to leave the PowerBook docked to the external monitor because it's just too much of a pain to reshuffle all the windows after a display switch. Maybe this will get me back to looking at solving the problem of keeping my windows laid out properly.

My current solution to the problem of keeping my windows layed out is to use a window manager to do it for me: http://wmi.berlios.de/

Sure,
But the problem that DisplayWatcher solves is different -- it activates when your displays change configuration -- specifically, when I switch from a single monitor setup (laptop) to a multi monitor setup (laptop + 21" display). So DisplayWatcher and some AppleScript keep track of two sets of window configurations.
