Title:
Cannot set right monitor as primary in dual monitor configuration
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xfwm4 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Unity always considers the left monitor as the default/primary one when in a
dual-monitor configuration. By this I mean that:
- Desktop icons appear only on the left monitor
- An opened app (eg libreoffice writer) is opened on the left screen, even if
I launch it via the launcher on the right monitor
The current configuration can be seen at

The .config/monitors.xml file is shown below. Notice that the HDMI
display (green in the photo) is set as <primary>yes</primary>.
Nevertheless, this seems to be ignored - the behaviour is the one
mentioned above (desktop icons on the left and writer opening on the
left) .
