Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

gnome-display-properties in jaunty is a massive improvement, great job

however, with the dual-screen configuration, it is not possible from within the GUI to select which monitor should be used as the primary display (i.e., which displays gnome-panels etc.)

xrandr supports setting this via the '--primary' per-output option, so the GUI should also provide the ability to set this
