Willem & Daniel, I thought I was having this issue on 22.04, but I found this
that fixed it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/149477
Turns out that in each panel's preferences, the "Output" property was set to
"Automatic". Setting it to "Primary" moved the panels to my preferred display.

Not sure how to update this bug, since it seems to still be present on
20.04 xubuntu. I added, the settings package, as that is what xfce4
-display-settings is a part of.

This doesn't work in 4.14.3-1 (Xubuntu 20.04). Setting a display as
primary does not move the panels & desktop icons to it, when the other
display is positioned left.

My install has also behaviors which I find "buggy" and which I believe
may be related - I attach for info if it helps the developers:
my displays are "mirrored" by default even though this option is not ticked.

I don't have the access level to mark this as triaged. You will need to
propose any patch upstream. The first thing to do would be to open a bug
on the Xfce tracker and set a bug watch here on the remote bug. After
that you will need to propose your patch on the mailing list.
The automatic
Ah i forgot to say: if I specify the second monitor as output display,
and i unplug the monitor the panel disappears...
I understand why, but really... the actual behavior is not user
friendly.

Ok, for about one minute let's stop being programmers and let's think as a
normal user.
So i plug-in my monitor. The xfce4-display-settings pops up automatically, I
select a display i thick the primary checkbox, i want my panel goes there. I
may not know what is the display 1 in gdk.
That
Seems reasonable, but note that isn't the current behavior of the
"automatic" setting. It positions the panels based on monitor number
(according to Gdk), but the monitor numbers change if you rearrange the
monitors' logical positions, which is what causes the behavior you see.
The output
My complete proposal is the following:
* if the field "Output" in "panel -> panel preferences" is set to something
else that "Automatic" honor the user choice.
* if the field "Output" in "panel -> panel preferences" is set to "Automatic"
place the panel in the display marked as "primary".
*
Under your proposal, how would Xfce know which monitor to put which
panel on, if no primary monitor was selected?

Your opinion disagres with the xfce4-settings documentation:
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/display
See section "Primary display":
"Check this option to provide a hint to panels, docks and the desktop
that the selected display is the primary display."
If you want panels on every
The panel can't just follow the primary monitor because that would
prevent people from having panels on every monitor.
Instead the output configuration is done per panel. Right click the
panel -> panel -> panel preferences, and then select the output you
want.
