Comment 19 for bug 473622

I made an interesting discovery this morning, with my Ubuntu 9.10
netbook (1024x600) running the ubuntu-supplied versions of OpenOffice
and the presenter console extension. The secondary screen was a HD
screen, so the resolution was bigger than the primary screen of my
netbook.

The trick is this: set up the two screens, start the presentation, and
the presenter console + audience screen will be on top of each other...
now simply alt+drag the presenter console onto your primary monitor.
Surprisingly, it worked for me (in Lucid, it may behave differently).
