the easiest way I've found to get around the problem is to use 12noons display changer (http://www.12noon.com/)

and switch primary and secondary monitors through a batch file, mine looks like this:

Code:
"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY2" -more -primary

"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY1" -apply -secondary -lx=-1280 -ty=128
"C:\Program Files\HTPC\XBMC Media Center\XBMC.exe"
"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY1" -more -primary
"C:\Program Files\HTPC\ResChange\dccmd.exe" -monitor="\\.\DISPLAY2" -apply -secondary -lx=1280 -ty=128

of course, you'll have to manipulate it to fit your situation.
