1) use a CEC device to ensure XBMC only gets launched after the TV is on.

2) delay XBMC from launching for the number of seconds it takes for the TV to come on and be ready so XBMC "sees" Display #2.

I do #2 using EventGhost - works perfectly and costs $60 less than using the CEC device (which is not 100% functional with XBMC/EG from what I've read)

@Livin, would it be at all possible for you to share this EventGhost process? I'm having this particular issue where XBMC default to Fullscreen #1 whenever the TV is off (and must be manually "reset" to Fullscreen #2 in settings), but would also like to dim JUST my primary monitor with some key combination in EventGhost. I know its not strictly the same thing as this post, but I think I could figure out the rest if I saw that eventghost process. Thanks!
