Shouldn't gnome-control-center have the ability to set the primary monitor? That should fix the problem.

The launcher placement drop down menu in Displays lists both monitors but selecting either one results in the primary monitor showing the launcher and the secondary one only visible if 'All Displays' is selected. A solution I have found, is to disable the primary monitor within 'Displays', set the launcher to show on the remaining monitor and then re-enable the primary monitor. This causes the launcher to show only on the secondary monitor.
