I have found a work-a-round for this issue using xrandr and changeing the primary monitor.
This changes primary montor to the DVI-monitor: xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary And this back to the VGA-monitor: xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary xrandr without arguments reports the names of the monitors: root@lian:~# xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3328 x 1152, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+2048+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 DVI-0 connected 2048x1152+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 290mm 2048x1152 59.9*+ 1680x1050 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
