Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal with ppa:unity-team/sru
Issue: Applications opened using launcher on monitor 1 opens/starts in monitor 2 instead of monitor 1.
Action:
- Plug a 2nd monitor to a running active system in use
- Launcher setting does not change behaviour so any value is ok
- Open CCSM or software center by clicking on the launcher icon in monitor 1
- Observe that the application instance starts in monitor 2

When resolution for both monitors are same, apps open in the same monitor as the launcher used to open the app.
