The same for me. I have two displays, the 15" LCD (LVDS) of the laptop
Ubuntu is running in, and an external 19" CRT. The graphics chip is an
Intel GM945. it looks like the LCD is set as the primary display (i.e.
where all the toolbars are located, where fullscreen videos will show,
and where all new windows appear) only when the CRT is set left to,
right to or under the LCD. Unfortunately, my setup is with the CRT
_over_ the LCD (I think it's a similar setup as Effenberg0x0). When I
set this in gnome-display-properties, the external CRT is always set to
primary. So it looks like the criterion for choosing which is the
primary display depends on the displays' position, which is no good for
me. Also, xrandr --output LVDS --primary simply does nothing for me.

I'd strongly suggest to include an option like "Set this display as the
primary", and clearly show in the displays' graph which of them is the
primary.
