WORKAROUND:

Permanent workaround (requires logging back in again):
Edit ~/.config/monitors.xml, find the monitor you want the launcher to display on and change:
    <primary>no</primary>
to:
    <primary>yes</primary>
Now log out and log in again.

Temporary workaround (no logout required):
Open a Terminal window and...
1. Run "xrandr" to find the NAME of the output you would like to make primary.
2. Run: xrandr --output NAME --primary && nohup unity --replace &


ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

Binary package hint: unity

In my particular configuration I have an external monitor hooked up to
my laptop on the left of the laptop display.  The unity bar is ending up
on the laptop display though making it in the middle of the two
monitors.

This makes it quite difficult to activate the bar with a full screen
application open on the laptop (hitting the upper left pixel of that
monitor without going over).

I think it would make more sense to make it configurable which monitor
the bar ends up on, or at least look at the orientation of the monitors
when determining where to put the bar.
