Next trial: Instead of Gnome, I chose KDE as session (Kubuntu). While it is far from perfect, a few things are actually better: 1. the splash screen of OpenOffice actually appears centered on the target desktop. 2. the auto-hide panel actually hides in the bottom of the lower screen, though I place it on top. So it doesn't show up in the upper screen.
It is vain for me to file a bug report with Gnome. I suggest that Ubuntu takes it up with upstream (Gnome), and/or actually funds all necessary changes to bring 2 monitors to the Ubuntu users; usably.
