Making use of fullscreen on the extended display

Question

How do I run an app in Full Screen mode on OS X Lion on my second monitor?

I recently bought a MiniDisplay Port to VGA to make use of my unused monitor. So far I'm using it but one thing I notice is that when I try to use the fullscreen option of a certain application, Safari for example, OS X Lion only seem to use the main display (my MBP's monitor).

When I drag Safari's window on the extended display and then fullscreen from there, the fullscreen window still returns back to the main display.

Is there a way for putting the fullscreen window to the extend display?

Cheers!

I see. This thread must be closed then. I'm not doing my homework well. Thanks anyway! — Panoy, Sep 03 '12 at 13:03

This is possible in Mountain Lion by dragging the window to the secondary screen before entering fullscreen, but unfortunately cannot be done in Mac OS X Lion.
