Seen on IRC today:

<khc> Using gnome shell with laptop and an external monitor, is there a
way to set which one is the primary one?
<halfline> khc: i believe if you go to system settings and go to
displays
 you can drag the black panel between monitors
 the minature black panel in the dialog i mean
