You have been subscribed to a public bug: When plugging an external monitor into my laptop (and thus enabling dual screens, not mirrored), I only see my desktop icons on the right screen (left: external screen, right: laptop screen) and not on the left (external) screen. See the screenshot attached.
Also, please note that I also experience a resolution bug - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+bug/1083790 - you can see this in the screenshot too.
