Bug Description

When using Slingshot on a multi-display setup, it spawns in the wrong spot if I have an overlapping secondary display to the left of my primary display.

In my attached screenshot, you can see that Slingshot opens too far to the left of the primary (larger) display and overlaps onto the secondary (left) display.

In this screenshot, I've reversed the location of the displays and Slingshot opens in the proper position.

Are you sure the second one is alright? It should have one more column, and page buttons should be square...

Aha, it seemed to be that the displays were overlapping. Odd. When they're not overlapping, it appears properly.

Marking as incomplete, I'll need to do more testing to track down the issue and how exactly to reproduce.

My displays are not overlapping, but the issue still persists.
I'm using the nvidia-settings to configure my monitors though, that might be the problem.

Can we un-expire this? I'm using luna-beta1 and it still does this on a fresh install.
