I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and I was wondering if it is possible to put a panel on a secondary monitor.

Here are methods I have tried which did not work:

  1. Click and drag the panel from the primary monitor to the secondary monitor
  2. Installing TwinView (couldn't find it)

Create the new panel as usual and then holding down ALT and drag it to the other monitor.

This ALT+drag method also works for moving windows around without needing to grab the top bar.

The ALT + Drag method didn't work for my desktop, but there is another alternative.

  1. Right-click the panel you'd like to move, and uncheck "Expand" in the properties
  2. The panel will now have two 'handles' on each side - these can be used to drag the panel to a different monitor.
  3. Re-check "Expand" in the panel properties once you have it where you'd like it
