Hi there One thing that annoyed me in Gnome/Mate and multi-monitor setup was that I seemed to end up with the panels on the wrong monitor. I still had that issue with Linux Mint 14 and there didn't seem to be an obvious option in the monitor setup like "make this screen the primary one". However, today I came across a little tip of how you can move the panel between monitors manually: - uncheck the "expand" option in the panel's properties - grab one of the handles at the end and move the panel to the other screen - check "expand" again source: http://chrisjean.com/2009/11/03/move-gnome-panels-to-a-different-monitor-in-...
