[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
@Tomasz Przybysz:
Ooh, yeah, that's right; notifications end up in the wrong place on
multi-monitor setups too! That would be a real problem for me if my
second monitor even worked (right now it doesn't; I'm getting a weird
overlap effect:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11410701#post11410701 ). I'll
make sure to vote for that bug too, thanks!

WORKAROUND FOR 11.10:
None available right now.
WORKAROUND FOR 11.04:
There are two ways to configure the primary monitor in Ubuntu 11.04...
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.
