Ran into this bug on a clean install of Lucid i386 on a Mini9, while attempting to present at a LUG. Not good. We had literally a room full of Linux experts and it took us 20 mins to figure out what it was doing and work around it. (Not online so I didn't find this bug until hours later.)

We found that you can right-click on the presenter notes button in the task bar, choose "move" then click on the desired monitor (laptop) and it would work. But this is ugly and should be fixed, especially if it is not present upstream as has been noted.

Seemingly related, if I set Slide Show > slide Show Settings > Multiple displays to "display 1" or 2, both the slide show and the presenters console would go onto the projector (2), overlaid as noted. Then I could move the presenter console back where it belongs (1). In other words, that setting was not being honored.

It's also annoying and disappointing that system > Preferences > Monitors calls the displays one thing, but OO.o ODP Slide Show > slide Show Settings > Multiple displays called them something totally different.
