Ubuntu & NVidia :: Dual screen setup and gnome-panel

Dual monitors, set up with nVidia TwinView in a way that the gnome-panel does not stretch across the whole desktop but is only on one monitor.

Now I want to add another panel on the second monitor, but if I create a new one, I can only add it to the primary display.

Solution:
  • add a new panel as usual
  • run gconf-editor and go to apps/panel/toplevels/panel_
  • set the variable "monitor" from 0 to 1
And that's it!
