I've just added an extra monitor (VGA) that I want to be on the right of my
main monitor (DVI).
Ubuntu automatically recognized the new VGA monitor as the primary, so the
Unity's launcher stayed at it, even though I wanted the launcher to stay at the
main monitor (the one that is on the left). As I could'nt choose the primary
monitor in Ubuntu's settings, I had to use the NVIDIA X Server Settings to do
it (screenshot).
After choosing the DVI monitor to be the primary one, the launcher went to the
right place. But, after finishing the session and entering it again, the
monitor on the right turned back to be the primary one and the lancher went to
the wrong monitor again.
The only way I found to fix this was editing "/.config/monitors.xml",
changing <primary>. Now, it is like this:
<monitors version="1">
<configuration>
<clone>no</clone>
<output name="DVI-I-0">
</output>
<output name="VGA-0">
<vendor>GSM</vendor>
<product>0x43cc</product>
<serial>0x01010101</serial>
<width>1280</width>
<height>1024</height>
<rate>60</rate>
<x>1680</x>
<y>118</y>
<rotation>normal</rotation>
<reflect_x>no</reflect_x>
<reflect_y>no</reflect_y>
<primary>no</primary>
</output>
<output name="DVI-I-1">
<vendor>SAM</vendor>
<product>0x03e5</product>
<serial>0x54573232</serial>
<width>1680</width>
<height>1050</height>
<rate>60</rate>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<rotation>normal</rotation>
<reflect_x>no</reflect_x>
<reflect_y>no</reflect_y>
<primary>yes</primary>
</output>
<output name="HDMI-0">
</output>
</configuration>
</monitors>
