** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: nvidia-settings
  
  When I connect my Dell XPS M1530 to an external monitor using the VGA
  port and run nvidia-settings to set it up to be to the right of the
  laptop screen, it does not matter which screen I set to be the primary
  screen - nvidia-settings forces the external monitor to be the primary
  screen (ie gnome-panel appears on this screen). (The relative
  positioning of the screens is correct, however.)
  
  The workaround is to cancel the change and then reapply it - the second
  time it sets the laptop screen to primary.
  
  This happens with the nvidia driver version 185.18.31 and .36 and also
  the latest beta driver 190.25 in Jaunty (with kernels 2.6.28, 2.6.30,
  and 2.6.31).
  
  It does work correctly if I connect to a monitor using the HDMI port.
