This isn't a direct answer to your question, but you might want to take a step back and consider why you want this feature. Is there a Unix application available (free or not) that will provide multiple monitor panels/taskbars? Or alternatively, is there a way to hack in similar functionality? I'm looking for something similar, or as close to it on Unix supporting Ubuntu would be preferable but I could always switch to something else (my important stuff is all in Windows right now). I get two displays, and a secondary taskbar that shows windows/tasks specific to that second screen. Even if I could drag panels across screens correctly, this doesn't necessarily solve my problem anyway: I can add, remove and move around panels on the main screen, but they'll never drag to the secondary screen. Now, this might sound silly, but they won't move to my secondary screen. I've googled, I've searched here, I've read every old forum post I could find, and found information numerous times that suggest I should be able to move panels from one screen to another. The one thing I find lacking that will (I feel) force me to choose Windows over any Unix system for general use is the seeming lack of adequate support for multiple taskbars (or panels, as they're referred to in Ubuntu) on multiple screens. I'm currently primarily a Windows user, but I've been running Ubuntu in dual boot to get a feel for it. I have a question with regard to a multiple monitor setup.
