unity launcher interferes with mouse

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

it gets difficult or even impossible to use the mouse in the left part of a window, especially when the window is in fullscreen mode, because the ubuntu launcher appears and hides the window and takes control over the mouse.

E.g. it is difficult to press the „back” button of firefox in fullscreen mode because if you move 1 or 2 pixels to far to the left, that damned launcher appears and blocks the window.

Even more problematic is trying to copy text from a plain terminal window. Launcher appears as soon as the mouse pointer comes close to the first character column. Beeing unable to copy text from a terminal window is a severe problem (and design flaw of unity)
