Problem
Well the title says it all but still. Is there a way to connect an external monitor using a DVI->MiniDP converter to the Thunderbolt Port on the Apple Thunderbolt Display?

Low Risk
Chain of two Thunderbolt displays works (eliminating the DVI-MiniDP adapter). Chain using Apple's DVI->MiniDP adapter and some Dell's monitor doesn't work. (So to use 2 monitors I connect them both to MacBook Pro directly)
