Resolution change on primary resets secondary display

I know that I can run a 3D application or a game the a primary display and
watch video on the secondary at the same time.
However when I change the resolution on the primary display, the secondary
will reset too, causing any video playing on it to stop. And most
full-screen 3D applications and games will change either resolution or
colour depth or refresh rate (quite enought to cause the problem).

1-How do I prevent this?

2-Why is this stupid behaviour?
