[HUD][multi-monitor] HUD should be expanded to the left if used on a screen without launcher

[Péter Trombitás]

Test case:
1. Ensure you have a multi-monitor environment with launcher on only one screen
2. Start an application on the screen where there is no launcher
3. Start the HUD (tap Alt)
   -> The HUD should not leave any place for the launcher on the screen, just occupy all free space to its left

==

Maybe this affects unity as well, but I can't test it.
HUD leaves the launcher's space free, even if there's no launcher on that screen. I think it should display an icon there.
My unity-2d version is 5.8.0, I know that there's 5.10 coming out, though it's not in the ppa or something.
Sorry for not reporting this issue with apport, but it didn't let me do so because it says that I shouldn't use any third-party repos (I use unity-tema/ppa, ubuntu-desktop/ppa and unity-team/lenses-testing).

Hello Péter, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity-2d into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

It works for me in unity-2d. Thanks for the fix.
