David's link to the FreeDesktop mailing list should actually be:

It appears that the LVDS (laptop) display can only be set to crtc 1, not
the first (crtc 0).  This causes attached monitors to be placed at crtc
0.  Then Gnome defaults to putting the menubar and user interface on the
first xinerama output, which is the exterior monitor.  It seems like the
best way to approach this issue is something with a script run on Gnome
startup to try to set user interface elements to be placed on the
correct screen.

But I'm no expert, so this could all be off.

A very good resource on this issue is here:
