I had a similar problem the panels stayed on my laptop when i plugged in
the external screen. I managed to find a workaround using xrandr.

1. I queried the screens 
> xrandr -q
My screens were VGA1 <external> and LVDS1 <laptop>

2. set the external to primary
> xrandr --output VGA1 --primary
3. turn off the laptop screen, forcing the panels to the external screen
>xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
4. turn the laptop on again, 
>xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto
5. set the laptop left-of the external monitor
>xrandr --output LVDS1 --left-of VGA1

I am sure there is an easier way
