how to set primary monitor (xrandr seems no to work)

hi, like in the title i can't manage to set one of my three monitors as primary. xfce always takes the left monitor as primary (starts applications there etc.).

in xrandr the monitor i want is definetely set correctly.

i saw this bug in the bugtracker already and it's unresolved for several years, what i cannot believe if it was a problem for every multimonitor user.

anyone knows a workaround, or a way to fix it?

thanks!

Hello and welcome.

Which version of xfce4-settings are you using? Although there have been some recent changes, I believe this particular issue hasn't been solved yet. Probably the best place to follow/track this issue is in the bugtracker.
