Bug Description

if I use wingpanel on a dual monitor setup, where the monitor to the left is the primary, then a very small spot on the top left corner of the secondary screen becomes unclickable. This is a problem when I maximize a window in the secondary screen, because it puts the window close button right in that "dead spot", and I can't close the window.

this is not completely fixed, every so often, that little area is still blocked, not sure why. It doesn't happen right when wing panel starts, but at some point I'll go up to close a maximized window on the secondary monitor, and will be unable.

ok, I just figured it out, start wingpanel, add a new indicator somehow (I used banshee with app indicator enabled), remove that new indicator, the little area is now blocked! SO it happens when an extra indicator is REMOVED from wingpanel.
