Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

When working with two displays there is a question of which display is the 
"primary". In the case of Unity the primary display is the screen on which the 
launcher appears for instance. This property can be set using xrandr, but the 
gnome-display-properties utility does not give a GUI way to set this. This 
should be addressed.
This bug was also raised upstream 
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588041), and was apparently solved 
for Gnome 3.0. With the Gnome 3.0 vs Unity thing going on, I think that a bug 
like this should be addressed within Unity as well (and as I understand cannot 
be resolved upstream).
