GNOME (panel?) chooses monitor for panels randomly

[to be removed]

I have two identical monitors attached to my desktop machine. There does not seem to be a way for me to tell GNOME that I want the panels on the right monitor and not the left one. Sometimes it puts them on one, sometimes on the other.

I tried to fix this by swapping the monitors in gnome-desktop-properties, but that resulted in the right monitor going completely black, and undoing that made the left one go black, too.

I'll note that the randomness doesn't seem to be happening now. It's always the same configuration: panels on the left monitor. Which is the opposite of what I want, but at least I can live with it as long as it doesn't keep changing.
