In further investigation of the issue I'm honestly not sure if this is
a problem with Unity, or perhaps a problem with the system for setting
the primary monitor in X. I know I did set the primary monitor in the
nvidia tool and rebooted just because it didn't seem to work. In
hindsight I'm not sure that X paid any attention to the setting and I
perhaps needed to set it elsewhere also?.

If I still had this version of Ubuntu installed I would investigate
more, and I may perhaps reinstall it at a later date to do so. For now
though I've move on to other things and so this is probably going to
be my last comment on this bug report. Sorry for not being more
helpful.

What is clear to me is that no matter the cause this is very counter
intuitive behaviour for dual screen desktop users, whether they be
multi monitor desktops like myself or laptops with external monitors,
and in my opinion should be addressed prior to official launch in
order to avoid undo hysterical criticism of what seems to otherwise be
a really nice re-design of the desktop UI.
