Add panel to secondary monitor on Ubuntu 10.04

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

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
