Bug Description
When using dual monitors, once Plank hides itself due to a maximized application, it cannot be shown again by moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen.
This functionality works when I am in single monitor mode.
Hardware: HP Pavilion dv5 laptop with built-in 15" screen, external 19" Dell monitor.
Problem exists if displays are mirrored or not.
Problem exists if displays are aligned top or bottom in Display setting.
Problem exists with all Dock settings (I use Hide on Maximize)

I noticed this behavior on a fresh boot when a second monitor is attached. Killing plank (and I assume cerbere restarts it) fixes the problem. As with Chris, I do not experience this problem when the computer is started with only the primary monitor (in my case, the laptop screen) attached.
