Bug Description

The placement of the options 'Launcher placement' and 'Sticky edges' is misleading, as they are grouped with other *per-display* options such as Resolution and Rotation.
As these options globally affect the entire display setup, they should be separated from the per-display options.

The suggested solution is shown in the attached image 'globalOptionsPlacement.png'

Following the 'Rotation' drop-down list there is a vertical gap of 12px.
There then follows a 2px wide rule, #B8B8B8 RGB(184, 184, 184) for the top colour and #FCFCFC RGB(252, 252, 252) for the bottom colour. If there is already a separator widget which provides this type of appearance, it can be used instead.
Another vertical gap of 12px follows the rule, followed by the 'Launcher placement' drop-down list.

Please note: In the attached image, the labels shown are incorrect. Please refer to separate bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967110
