Spanning across both monitors actually works great for me and I wouldn't want to see my second monitor lose this panel. If its going to be moved to one by default, could there be a preference to span both/all as well?
Ideally, it seems to me that the panel should take on the task of displaying menu systems for each monitor for a consistent feel across both if it is enabled to span across more than just the primary monitor. This would also allow for consistency among maximized windows in secondary monitors. Otherwise, windows in a secondary monitor would just behave differently than those in the primary window when maximized without a panel above them since they won't merge with a top panel in the same way.
