How to set "default monitor" in a multi-monitor config'n?
I'm running Mint 17.1 Xfce (64 bit) with 3 monitors, and every time I open something it opens anchored to the top left corner of the left monitor. I find this irritating. How do I tell Xfce which monitor is my main/default monitor so I won't have to keep dragging everything over to the middle monitor?

Thanks for the response - and the link. That "primary display" checkbox looks pretty handy! Time to update my flash drives to Rafaela, I guess (though I much prefer the name Rebecca).

Well, this sucks...
After upgrading to 17.2, the "Primary Display" checkbox is there - but checking it has no effect. Everything still opens in the upper left corner of my left monitor.
