Ubuntu
gnome-shell package

Icons always create on left monitor although the right one is set as primary

Asked by Jan Schwarzrock

Icons always create on left monitor although the right one is set as primary display. It happens with every configuration I tried. I'm currently running gnome-shell 3.22.0 on Ubuntu 16.10 (Linux XXXX 4.9.0-040900rc1-generic #201610151630 SMP Sat Oct 15 20:33:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux). Is this a bug or is this the right way how it is supposed to be. Because I didn't find any switch/setting to affect it.

Then you are using a PPA, and not the official packages for Ubuntu from the Canonical repositories.

If you don't use the official packages then results cannot be guaranteed.

All I can suggest is contact the PPA maintainer(s) and report the issue.
