Adding myself to the list of people who would like to see this. I'm running 10.04 beta on my MacBook that has a broken screen. I'm running an external 37" monitor on it, and I'd like to be able to keep the lid closed for a few reasons. One, it's not necessary to be open halfway all the time since the laptop screen is broken. Two, even if it wasn't broken, I'm using a 37" screen, I don't need another 13". Three, and this is the important one, if I can keep it closed, I can reboot and the MacBook's boot screen will show on the external monitor only. Since I have to keep it open, the only way to see the startup screen is to close the lid when I reboot, and open it again as soon as I hear the startup sound.
I've used the work around for now, and honestly, it wouldn't be that big of a hassle if I had to do that every time I installed, but this is an option that would be nice to have.
