Gnome

Say you have two monitors set up as “extended desktop”, and you want to move the gnome-panel from one monitor to the other monitor.

Here is how to do it in Ubuntu (Tested on Ubuntu 10.04):

1. Right click the panel, choose “properties”.

2. In “General” tab, uncheck “expand”.

3. Drag the panel from its left or right edge to the other monitor.

4. Right click the panel, choose “properties”, in “General” tab recheck “expand”.

You’re done. Have fun

Found the tip here.

Update:

An easier way, is just to hold “Alt” key, and drag the panel from one monitor to the other. No need to play with the “expand” setting.
