Change primary device on Ubuntu 14.04

Hello all,

I have a DELL D3000 which is DisplayLink chipset.
It as two display connector (1 HDMI and 1 DVI).

Using last driver, every screen works and I can extend my desktop to these two external monitors.

But I want to use one of these two as primary display.
i.e. I want to have ubuntu side launcher on one of my external display and/or launch fullscreen app on this screen.

It seems that I can only use my laptop panel as main display.

Is this a known bug ?
How do I can make one external monitor as primary screen ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
