setting preferred monitor on dualhead system

I used xrandr to allow me to use a second monitor with my laptop when I'm at my desk using the following script:
xrandr --output HDMI-2 --left-of LVDS
xrandr --output LVDS --pos 1280x0
xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode 1280x1024

The only problem I'm having is that it sets my laptop monitor as "Screen 2" which means my taskbars, icons, paypanel, etc, all show up on the secondary monitor when I run my script.

Is there a way to force the laptop monitor to remain the preferred/primary monitor?

Thanks,

Chris
