Sounds like one of the known issues with unity not handling multi-head properly. We demo'd some similar bugs to the compiz/unity folks a couple weeks ago.

This seems fixed now, at least on my intel laptop with an external monitor (with the fixes that I'll land in a bit). Please re-ppen if it's still an issue.

this bug was not fixed... i am still having the same problems even with unity - 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 but now its were once i set it up compiz gets a fault and stops were i have to use compiz --restart and then the top bar changes positions no matter the resolution set and some times it appears onto the secondary screen instead of the primary screen where if you try to open the dash the dash appears on the primary too.
