Turning on second monitor reporganizes icons
I have Ubuntu 18.04 with dual Monitors, my main monitor is Goldstar Ltd 24" and this is where I keep all my desktop icons and everytime I turn on my second monitor the icons move to the second monitor.
As you can see, the main monitor is the 1st one - Goldstar Company Ltd 24" so my assumption (perhaps entirely wrong) is that after turning on my second monitor the main monitor switches to the second one and the icons move and I want them to stay on my main monitor at all times.
I have latest NVIDIA grahics drivers.
