I am trying to find a way to have Gnome panels appear on a secondary monitor in xinerama mode only when this monitor is connected. The problem is that whenever I boot the system WITHOUT the second monitor connected the additional panels show up on the laptop screen and they do not "return" to the second monitor once it is reconnected.
I tried using TwinView instead of xinerama, but I do not like the way how many application windows are getting split between the monitors.

I am using a xinerama dualhead setup with an external DVI TFT sitting on the left side of my laptop (Dell XPS M1330 with Nvidia GFX and binary driver installed).
