You can also do this within the X session in the Displays control center
applet, analogously to how it works on OSX.  Run the applet and mouse
over the black "top" bar in the UI.  Notice how the tooltip says "Drag
to change primary display"; you can drag it among the displays in the
applet to switch which display should be primary.

This doesn't get applied to gdm time, yet, which is a missing gnome
feature.
