Ah, so. Thank you. Yes, it's Mavericks. It's my wife's iMac, and I
wasn't all that familiar with its behavior under Mavericks with the old
external display. Now I have remembered a recent photo of the old
display in use and I see that the menu bar was present on both
displays. My mistake. Interesting, though that the displays pref pane
still offers the opportunity to put the menu bar on either display,
even though that function doesn't do anything.
