Bug Description
Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. The new Unity interface is a bit of getting used to but it's behavior with a dual monitor set-up makes it really frustrating.
Videocard: ATI HD6950 (proprietary drivers installed)
Set-up: Two monitors, primary screen on the right hand side, secondary screen on the left hand side, Xinerama turned off.
The launcher is only displayed on the main screen (right). To display the menu I have to go all the way to the left edge of my secondary screen (left). Hovering over the launcher button will only display the menu half-way and semi-transparently, i.e. unusable.
Isn't the global menu supposed to be displayed on both monitors?

I think I would be nice feature to have the possibility to move the unity bar and add a second one in a multi-monitor situation.
