Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Unity is very buggy when there is a secondary monitory to the left of the primary one:

1. When the launcher is hidden the only way to summon it is to move the mouse cursor all the way to the left of the secondary screen, and then it appears on the left edge of the primary screen

2. Icons on the desktop hang awkwardly half an inch away from the left screen where they would be if the launcher was on that screen and can't be dragged further left

3. When you minimize a window the animation still acts like the launcher is on the left screen

Confirmed. On the plus side, Unity now actually respects the screen designated as primary :).
