Just a quick update on Ubuntu 17.10. Yes, you can change your primary
monitor on Gnome 3.26. You'll just have to go to "Settings > Display"
and click on "Primary Screen" (i'm translating that to enlgish, so it
might not be exactly this name) and select the monitor that you'll have
as your primary one.
Primary screen just didn't look like a button, so I didn't think of it
until i tried it :P Editing the the bug to "this bug does not affect
me".

Title:
Cannot set right monitor as primary in dual monitor configuration
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xfwm4 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Unity always considers the left monitor as the default/primary one when in a
dual-monitor configuration. By this I mean that:
- Desktop icons appear only on the left monitor
- An opened app (eg libreoffice writer) is opened on the left screen, even if
I launch it via the launcher on the right monitor
The current configuration can be seen at

The .config/monitors.xml file is shown below. Notice that the HDMI
display (green in the photo) is set asyes.
Nevertheless, this seems to be ignored - the behaviour is the one
mentioned above (desktop icons on the left and writer opening on the
left) .
