Maybe a major stumbling block in figuring this out is that I do not have a projector to test possible solutions. I will get my first chance in 2 weeks, when I fly 1500 miles to lecture and only then connect to a projector. Yikes! What a mess.

Projector or not, if you have a spare monitor laying around (like the one that your wife isn't using right this very moment) will do for now. That way you'll gain more experience with dual-head and getting what you need displayed where you want it with this laptop.
I believe what happened was that totem is defaulting to the laptop screen. You haven't told it to display to the other screen/projector/monitor. Figure out how to tell totem/xine/mplayer/ogle/tetris to use the other head/display adapter is the key.
I don't have a dual head configuration right here, right now to help with this. Just helping with the hardware troubleshooting setup.

Thanks, Stan! I'll work on this. Gil
