I just upgraded to Oneiric and now the Unity Dash launcher is on my left screen. I really want it on my right screen. But how do I do that?
Why do I want the Dash on my right screen?
My left screen is a smaller older monitor that I use to read/watch documentation or keep my music player open. I work on my right screen, that is bigger and is a better monitor.
I have an Nvidia card and in the nvidia settings it is setup that the right monitor is my primary monitor, but Oneiric doesn't follow this setting anymore. I thought this was a bug, but is seems to be intended behavior…

Some poster in this thread explains that he "patched it locally", but I have no idea how to do this. Does somebody know how to do this? Or maybe there is another solution?

If this is still an issue with anyone a little google-ing around would have saved time, open terminal and run command
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --primary(this is assuming there is only 1 HDMI connection but you can run the commandxrandrand get a list of your monitors) if monitor name is different replace HDMI-1 with the proper device name of your chosen monitor.
