sudo gnome-control-
...but whenever I try to actually trigger a change to the display layout, it throws the following error in a dialog...
Failed to apply configuration: %s
GDBus.Error:

This is important as the behaviour of the Gnome monitor control is much richer than other xrandr wrappers like lxrandr or arandr, and in general having access to gnome controls (e.g. for mouse configuration) would be far preferable to the minimal Lubuntu ones.
In particular I would like to retain control of which is the primary screen (in Compiz and LXDE) so that the panel stays on the correct monitor, regardless of the specific layout (currently with the correct layout for the physical placement of my monitors, the panel arrives on the wrong monitor and is invisible). This feature only seems to exist within the Gnome control panel.
