What do you mean "on the left"? Somehow it is hard to believe the actual physical location should be important. But clearly one of the monitors must be listed first in monitors.xml and gets x,y=0,0 assigned, while the other monitor is then relative to this one.

So we have three properties a monitor can have:

1) internal laptop or external (or put it: hardware's main monitor and additional monitor)
2) has the gnome panel or not
3) is listed with x,y=0,0 as reference in monitors.xml

Makes 8 possibilities. Argh, do I really want to try them now?

(BTW: my monitors are stacked up vertically, the external one on top has the panel. And, hell, I just notice my monitors.xml gathered 3 configurations meanwhile. Ohh my.)
