Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I'm using a dual-display setup, with my laptop's built-in display on the right and an external monitor on the left. In this setup the launcher is placed on the left-hand side of the rightmost display (I'd really like it to be on the far left side of my desktop, but I haven't found any way to get it to move over there). But during certain operations the desktop animations behave as if the launcher is on the far left side of my desktop. A couple of examples:

* When minimizing or maximizing a window, the animation shows the window shrinking/growing to/from the upper-left corner of my left-hand display, regardless of which display contained the window being minimized.
* When rearranging icons in the launcher, after moving the icon and releasing the mouse button the icon flashes up briefly on the far-left side of my desktop, moving from right to left.
