Gnome-shell seems to like to leave one monitor as "fixed" when you switch workspaces.
Additionally, there is no preview in the Activities view of my secondary monitor.
Also, on the second monitor, where there should be either empty desktop space, or a copy of the panel, I just have a white bar.
How can I get gnome-shell to treat my secondary monitor like the primary one?

Setting
workspaces-only-on-primary false
(usinggsetting
,gconftool
, GNOME Tweak or whatever – see all other answers) only solves the first problem:For the second problem
there is a GNOME extension called Multi Monitors Add-On that Just Works™. (See also How do I install and manage GNOME Shell extensions?)
